March 8, 2019: “We have this assurance: Those who belong to God will live; their bodies will rise again! Those who sleep in the earth will rise up and sing for joy!” (Isaiah 26:19 NLT)
Such a hope we have, we who belong to God!
March 9, 2019: “My comfort in my suffering is this: Your promise renews my life.” (Ps. 119:50) I have learned over my years of trusting Him, of seeing His promises to me fulfilled, that I really can trust Him. His promise renews my life.
March 30, 2019: “Casting the whole of your care [all your anxieties, all your worries, all your concerns, once and for all] on Him, for He cares for you affectionately and cares about you watchfully.” (I Peter 5:7 Amplified Bible)
The key word in this scripture passage for me this morning is “casting.” As I am approaching my next round of tests—blood work, CT scan and dr. appointments, I have found myself thinking anxiously about them—what if the cancer has come back?
I can tell myself not to worry; I can wrestle it down until it submits, but then, in my quiet moments, find those anxious thoughts and feelings creeping back and haunting me.
But if I CAST them on Him—letting go of them and releasing them to Jesus—I’m handing control of my life and of what happens to me over to Him. And He is Lord of my life. What happens to me is under His control. And I have learned that I can trust Him Who “cares for me affectionately and cares about me watchfully.”
“CAST your burden on the Lord [releasing the weight of it] and He will sustain you.” (Ps. 55:22 Amplified)
