He Really Does Care for You

"Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you." 

1 Peter 5:7

Do you know what it's like to face a problem so big it seems downright irresponsible not to worry about it?  There may not be a thing you can do about it, but you feel like you need to at least be concerned.  After all, somebody needs to!  And no one else seems to be volunteering for the job.

I remember one time in particular I felt exactly that way.  I had about 150 requests for Bibles.  I only had 12 Bibles left to send out and no money to purchase more or to pay the postage, and believe me at that time money was a big issue.  The devil was attacking my mind, telling me that no one cared about me or my ministry, telling me that I was facing this problem alone.

But instead of giving in to those thoughts, I got my Bible and turned to every scripture in the Word of God that guaranteed me my needs were met.  Then I rolled the care of those expenses over on God.  I promised God that with the Holy Spirit as my Helper, I would not touch that problem with my thought life again.

That wasn't an easy promise to keep.  I wanted to worry so badly!  When I would have a thought about it I would say out loud, "No, I have rolled the care of that over on the Lord, I will not think about it.  The budget for the Bibles is met."

After a while, I had people I had never met personally, sending money to the ministry that more than met that need.  There was money left over to purchase more Bibles.  Glory to God.  He cares so much for us and our needs.  All we have to do is trust Him and roll our cares over on Him.  Then leave them alone.  Every time we pick it back up to worry or try to find a solution, we take it back out of His hands and what He had already had in motion to get our answers to us, stop.

Would you like to have people chasing you down to meet your needs?  Then next time you're facing a problem, give it to God.  Let Him be the One Who's concerned about it.  He's volunteered for the job and you can trust Him to do it well.  After all, He really does care for you

As a lot of "junk" keeps being posted in the Guestbook, I have decided to remove it.  I have deleted and deleted this junk and they just keep post more.

The main thing is that people are brought closer to God.
