'Cast all your care upon God because He cares for you'
As followers of Christ we need to put all our trust in Him and be secure in who we are. In Matthew Chapter 6, Jesus asked the question "Aren't you worth more than birds? Aren't you more valuable than the flowers?" A pastor told the following story-There was a lady who came to church every Sunday and when she was done she would put a piece of paper on the pew where she was sitting. Just a little piece of paper. Finally one day the custodian brought it to me and it just had three or four words on it. I looked at those words and they didn't make much sense to me...and so finally, I talked to her and I said, "Every Sunday you come to church, take a piece of paper and put a couple of words on it, leave it on the pew, and you walk out." She said, "Pastor, my favorite verse is the verse in Peter that says, 'Cast all your care upon God because He cares for you.' Every Sunday I come to church and I just take a piece of paper and I think of two or three things that concern me. And I just write them down on that piece of paper, fold it up, leave it on the pew, and I leave the church saying, 'God, today I left everything with you.'"
If we don't give our cares to God it will cause us to be insecure, worried and anxiety ridden. We need to live every day trusting God and casting our cares on Him, believing in His Word and His promises.
