1Peter 5:6-7. NIV.
6 Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time.. 7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
When we try to rush ahead of God\’s timing and His guidance, we will end up making a lot of mistakes. We need to humble ourselves under God\’s guidance, realizing that He truly knows best. When we do so, we will reach the right points in our life at the right time. It\’s all about trusting Him.
I know, It\’s easier for human beings to trust God enough to cast their cares on Him when things are going well, but we must believe in Him in all times in good or bad. He will be there for us through it all and This is the confidence that we have to develop in our relationship with God that If we ask for anything in agreement with his will, he hears us.
It is sometimes a disconcerting truth for many Christians that even though we belong to God through faith in Christ, we still seem to experience the same problems that plagued us before we were saved. We often become discouraged and bogged down in life’s cares. The fact that both the Old and New Testaments addresses this problem the same way indicates that God knows our problems and worries are inevitable in this life.
Thoughtfully, God has always given us the same solution which He gave to His Children both in the time of Old and in the Now by saying to the peoples of all generation “Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall” (Psalm 55:22), And “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you” (1 Peter 5:7).
The old testament Time, the book of proverbs says \”Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding. In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.\”
In the new testament also the book of Matthew 9 : 23 \”Jesus said to him, \’If you can believe? All things are possible for one who believes.\”
Shows that the cares of the Lord to His people have been of old and it is also inesteemable, it can not be measured so the trust in Him and Believe in His words make all things to be possible to them that believes in Him And are willing to cast their burden upon Him.
Remain Blessed and Shalom
