Casting our Cares
This is a beautiful truth. That we can go to the Father with all the cares and leave them there. Knowing that He has the wisdom and power to bring about the right solutions at the right time. Jesus said, "come unto me and I will give you rest". This passage includes the temperal; cloths, food, and lodging. This includes everything that is necessary in life. It is a different way of living. The example of by our own thought or effort we cannot change the color of our hair.
As christians our life should be care-free. We are not to be as those who don't know the Lord. They are anxious about everything. The world is a perplexing place for anyone who doesn't know God. There is no rest for the world apart from Christ. This is evident in the news of today. It is what wars and unrest in the affairs of men demonstrates. The confusion of men blinded to the truth, leads to all manner of evil. These things should cause us to be sure to live according to the scripture.
What does the scripture tell us to do? "This is the work of God, that you believe on the Son". Believe! That is the work of God. To believe that God is able to provide, enable, and motivate. To show us the way to walk in all situations. To instruct us to truths. To deliver us from snares. To set us in our high places in Him. How? By Faith! Only Believe. Our believing God gives Him opportunity to move on our behalf. Stand in Faith. And see the salvation of the Lord.
What then is our priority? "Seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness. And all these things shall be added unto you". Pray! Believe that God is a REWARDER of those who seek Him. Simply pray and obey. There is no other way. To be happy in Jesus, but to trust and obey! It's that simple. Not strive to earn spiritual brownie points. Not work to impress God. Not to join every meeting that is available. Not even to spend all your time in study.
It is way to simple. The foolish to confound the wise. Pray and obey. Spend your time with God. Let Him show you what to do, how to do it, and when. Then you'll have good success. You won't be wearing yourself out for nothing. You labor will be fruitful, and joy will be your portion. The Spirit of the Lord is the fountain of life. The Spirit will enable, empower, and supply whatever is needed. Five words in your own understanding,"be led by the Spirit". Man is not capable of doing the work of God.
Our work is to believe that God is capable!
Believe the report. God is able. I AM, what ever you need. I AM you life. I AM going to complete that which I began in You. Only Believe! It's the way you began, "for by grace are you saved, through faith, and that not of yourself, it is the gift of God". It is all a work of grace, from beginning to end. Let that gift of faith work, and pray, talk to the Father, and tell him you are confident in His ability to work in you that which is pleasing in His sight. And then enter into the rest of the Lord. Go as He directs, be led, not pushed by the system of the world. Wait on Him, let Him speak to you; this is the way walk in it!
