There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.
1 John 4:18
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all of you be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the proud, and giveth grace to the humble. 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. Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
1 Peter 5:5-8
Fear will torment you. It will keep you restless during the day and keep you up at night. When we come to God and cast our “care” (which is really fear) on Him, we leave our concern with Him trusting Him to work things out for us however He, in His loving wisdom, knows is best. Any more, Ann and I are always casting our care on God. It didn’t used to be that way. We used to care about everything and it was killing us. We thought we were just being responsible people trying to handle things, but God showed us we were actually carrying all this care around with us and it kept tormenting us and making our lives miserable.
Release all care (fear) to God. Be free from fear and its torment. It doesn’t matter what the “care” is that is weighing you down – Money, the future, family, job. Cast it on God. Give it to your Father. Do it now. Say something really simple like, “Fix this Daddy.” Leave it to Him. That is where it belongs.
Will you give Him your care? You can. He’s waiting for you to do so. He loves and lives to have us trust Him.
God bless,
Mark
