The Father’s Love And Care (III)
casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.- 1 Peter 5:7
We serve a God that cares; therefore as His true children, we should allow him to carry all our cares. Don’t say, ‘’Lord help me carry off my cares while I carry the rest. ‘’ No, give God the chance to carry all your cares because He wants to be the one to carry all your burdens.
The unbelievers and the ungodly think that God does not care; no wonder they do not honour Him as God. But as a child of God, God wants to take glory in your life. It is my prayer that God will take glory in your life in Jesus name.
There is a hymn that says, ‘’There’s not a friend like the lowly Jesus…’’ Jesus was lowly when He came in the flesh, but today His status has changed. He is now the powerful Jesus, the second in the God-head; seated at the right hand of God, defending us as the High Priest and the Apostle of our faith. Nothing whatever could intimidate Him. He told those who can find HIM that He would rise up after death. And even though four hundred soldiers watched over ‘His tomb lest any of His Disciples should steal His body away and claim He Has risen, yet, none of them could stop Him from rising. When Jesus rose up from the grave, He did not even go out in a hurry. He rolled away the stone at the entrance of the tomb not because he could not go out except through the entrance, but to allow people to enter the tomb to see that He has risen, just as He had said.
Despite the political conspiracy against Jesus, He was always in control. Beloved, no witch, no wizard that ever existed can stop the advancement of the one that God cares for. It is my earnest prayer that no devil will stop your advancement in life.
Prayer: Dear Lord, I thank you from the depth of my heart for your care and over-ruling providence over my life. I trust you will keep me till the end of my race in Jesus name. Amen.
