Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty
hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him,
for He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:6–7
There are many believers
today who don’t cast their cares upon the Lord. I believe that it is because
they don’t have a revelation that He cares for them. Look at what His Word
says: “casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.”
Unless you have absolute confidence that Jesus cares for you, you will not cast
your cares upon Him. Just think, would you call upon the help of a relative or
friend in your time of need if you were not confident that the person would
respond to your call? Jesus cares for you. When you call upon Him, know that
you have His fullest attention with all of heaven’s resources backing you up!
Maybe you are thinking
right now, “Well, I am sure that Jesus has more important things to do than to
bother with my problem.” Hang on. By saying that, you have just shown that you
don’t really believe that Jesus cares for you. Now, let’s see what the Bible
says: “But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore;
you are of more value than many sparrows” (Luke 12:7).
I love and care for my
sweet daughter, Jessica. But as much as I adore her and care for her well-being,
I have never, not once, counted the number of strands of hair on her head! She
does not know how great a blessing she has been to me. I love to kiss her,
smell her hair and hug her tightly. Yet, in all my great love for her, I have
never taken the time to count the number of strands of hair on her head in all
these years!
But do you know that your
heavenly Father numbers the hairs on your head? I really hope that you are
beginning to catch the heart of Jesus and not generalize His love for you. His
love for you is all-encompassing. If He cares enough to keep track of the hairs
on your head, is there anything too small for Him that you cannot talk to Him
about?
My friend, His love for you
is personal, detailed and in-depth! Your heavenly Father wants you to involve
Him even in the smallest, most mundane matters of your life, and see His
unmerited favor surround you, protect you and lead you to good success. (Article & Picture; courtesy of Joseph
