Cast Your Care

Given July 17, 2007
We live in a world with troubles, don’t we? Every day, news stories chronicle trouble somewhere and even if it’s not too bad, it’s still something we may have concern over. But that’s just the way it is. Jesus said, “In this world you will have trouble. John 16:33“, but He ended that statement by assuring us, “But take heart! I have overcome the world.” He’s already taken care if it. So why do we still have “care” over these things?

So, if we’re in the middle of trouble, and Jesus has overcome it already, we shouldn’t worry about at all. We can, (and that’s important), we CAN toss the anxiety of it over to Jesus and sit back and let Him handle it. “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 1 Peter 5:6-7“. We have the choice of letting Jesus take care of it or trying to do it ourselves. Here’s one way of looking at it. When Satan comes knocking on your door, just say, “Jesus, will you get that please?”
