Knowing JESUS Daily Devotional | November 25, 2019. Enrich and Sustain your relationship with Jesus reading our daily devotional – Casting all your cares [all your anxieties, all your worries, and all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares about you [with deepest affection, and watches over you very carefully]. – 1 Peter 5:7
Beloved, it is not an exaggeration or an over statement. The God of heaven cares for you. You are in deed a perculiar person to Him. Because of this, He wants you in particular to cast all your cares without exception on Him.
1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Psalms 55:22 Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.
Beloved, you must avoid everything and anything that can make you have anxiety and then take decisions on any issue in haste,that you later regret. You shall not regret in Jesus name.
You see because a lot of the so called believers don’t cast their cares upon the Lord, they self manage their lives and make avoidable costly mistakes. This happened to Abraham in Bible days.
He suddenly found himself in famine after heeding the call of God to leave his father’s house. This decision put Abraham in great trouble. If God had not intervaned promptly, it would have become a lifetime challenge.
You must do everything to avoid this, by simply casting all your cares at all times upon the Lord and wait patiently for His timely intervention. See the avoidable costly mistake of Abraham and learn a lifetime lesson from it.
Gen 12:10-15 And there was a famine in the land: and Abram went down into Egypt to sojourn there; for the famine was grievous in the land. And it came to pass, when he was come near to enter into Egypt, that he said unto Sarai his wife, Behold now, I know that thou art a fair woman to look upon: Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Egyptians shall see thee, that they shall say, This is his wife: and they will kill me, but they will save thee alive. Say, I pray thee, thou art my sister: that it may be well with me for thy sake; and my soul shall live because of thee. And it came to pass, that, when Abram was come into Egypt, the Egyptians beheld the woman that she was very fair. The princes also of Pharaoh saw her, and commended her before Pharaoh: and the woman was taken into Pharaoh’s house.
It took God’s intervention for Sara to be brought out of Pharaoh’s house. Then Abraham had to return back to where God wanted him to be in the first place and became very rich.
If he had waited upon God initially, he would have avoided the costly mistake. Please learn from Abraham, whenever you are confronted with any challenge. Don’t take any decision in haste.
Cast your cares upon the Lord and He will address the concern and you shall have testimonies in Jesus name.
Gen 12:18 — Gen 13:3 And Pharaoh called Abram, and said, What is this that thou hast done unto me? why didst thou not tell me that she was thy wife? Why saidst thou, She is my sister? so I might have taken her to me to wife: now therefore behold thy wife, take her, and go thy way. And Pharaoh commanded his men concerning him: and they sent him away, and his wife, and all that he had. And Abram went up out of Egypt, he, and his wife, and all that he had, and Lot with him, into the south. And Abram was very rich in cattle, in silver, and in gold. And he went on his journeys from the south even to Bethel, unto the place where his tent had been at the beginning, between Bethel and Hai;
Beloved see other promises of God, encouraging you to cast your cares upon the Lord and patiently wait for His timely intervention.
Psa 27:13-14 I had fainted, unless I had believed to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait on the Lord: be of good courage, and he shall strengthen thine heart: wait, I say, on the Lord.
Psa 56:3-4 What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee. In God I will praise his word, in God I have put my trust; I will not fear what flesh can do unto me.
Psa 115:12 The Lord hath been mindful of us:he will bless us; he will bless the house of Israel;he will bless the house of Aaron.
Isa 26:3-4 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee. Trust ye in the Lord for ever: for in the Lord Jehovah is everlasting strength:
Beloved, always remember to cast all your cares upon the Lord, because He cares for you. He will not fall you or forsake you.
Dearly beloved, certainly without any iota of doubt, on this side of heaven, you shall have concerns that might be beyond your capacity to address.
At a time like this, because you are a beloved and peculiar person, you should take the concerns to God in prayer and leave them with Him for His timely intervention.
This becomes important for two reasons. First, He cares for you much more than yourself. Second, it will help you avoid costly mistake that satan wants you to fall into.
Every issue of godly lifetime spouse to marry, marital challenges, fruit of the womb, getting lucrative jobs, health challenges, meeting your financial commitments etc
All of these are concerns you must hand over to God and not self manage it, to avoid failing into satanic snares.
1 Peter 5:8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
The reason for handling these concerns to the Lord is because He cares for you in particular.
1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Dearly beloved, see the unfailing timely intervention promises Jesus Christ your Lord and savior gave you as a person very dear to Him.
Jn 14:18-19 I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you. Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also.
Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
See instances of fulfilling these promises for believers in Bible days. Since you are a believer too, He will not fall to do same and even more for you in particular in Jesus name.
1. Paul apostle on different occasions.
Act 18:9-10 Then spake the Lord to Paul in the night by a vision, Be not afraid, but speak, and hold not thy peace: For I am with thee, and no man shall set on thee to hurt thee: for I have much people in this city.
Act 23:11 And the night following the Lord stood by him, and said, Be of good cheer, Paul: for as thou hast testified of me in Jerusalem, so must thou bear witness also at Rome.
2. Apostle Peter’s timely deliverance from matydom.
Act 12:1-11 Now about that time Herod the king stretched forth his hands to vex certain of the church. And he killed James the brother of John with the sword. And because he saw it pleased the Jews, he proceeded further to take Peter also. (Then were the days of unleavened bread.) And when he had apprehended him, he put him in prison, and delivered him to four quaternions of soldiers to keep him; intending after Easter to bring him forth to the people. Peter therefore was kept in prison: but prayer was made without ceasing of the church unto God for him. And when Herod would have brought him forth, the same night Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains: and the keepers before the door kept the prison. And, behold, the angel of the Lord came upon him, and a light shined in the prison: and he smote Peter on the side, and raised him up, saying, Arise up quickly. And his chains fell off from his hands. And the angel said unto him, Gird thyself, and bind on thy sandals. And so he did. And he saith unto him, Cast thy garment about thee, and follow me. And he went out, and followed him; and wist not that it was true which was done by the angel; but thought he saw a vision. When they were past the first and the second ward, they came unto the iron gate that leadeth unto the city; which opened to them of his own accord: and they went out, and passed on through one street; and forthwith the angel departed from him. And when Peter was come to himself, he said, Now I know of a surety, that the Lord hath sent his angel, and hath delivered me out of the hand of Herod, and from all the expectation of the people of the Jews.
Always remember Jesus Christ your Lord remains the same He has not changed and will never ever change. What He did for others, He will surely and assuredly do for you too.
Hebrews 13:8 Jesus Christ the same yesterday, and to day, and for ever.
Friend, because God shall grant your earnest desire to be part of the dawning rapture, you must as a matter of compulsion cultivate this lifetime, lifestyle. Every issue of concerns confronting you must be handed over to the Lord, because He cares for you.
1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
Friend, when you conscientiously do these at all times, this is what shall always happen to you
2 Corinthians 1:10 Who delivered us from so great a death, and doth deliver: in whom we trust that he will yet deliver us;
2Ti 4:17-18 Notwithstanding the Lord stood with me, and strengthened me; that by me the preaching might be fully known, and that all the Gentiles might hear: and I was delivered out of the mouth of the lion. And the Lord shall deliver me from every evil work, and will preserve me unto his heavenly kingdom: to whom be glory for ever and ever. Amen.
Friend, the reasons for this is because you in particular have His unfailing timely intervention promises. See some of them.
Heb 13:5-6 Let your conversation be without covetousness; and be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee. So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.
Matthew 28:20 Teaching them to observe all things whatsoever I have commanded you: and, lo, I am with you alway, even unto the end of the world. Amen.
Friend, are you presently facing any challenges? Hand them over to the Lord and leave them with Him for His unfailing timely intervention.
