22 CAST YOUR CARES on the Lord
and HE will sustain you;
HE will never let
the righteous fall or be shaken. Psalm 55, of David
7 CAST ALL YOUR ANXIETY ON HIM because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5
The Scriptures use the little word, ‘Cast’ in a number of places and in different senses.
The verses above, one from the Psalms of David and the other by Peter, near the end of the New Testament, give reassurance of the Lord’s care for us. That reassurance of God’s love is restated to both groups of God’s people. He cared then and He cares now. (‘Cast and Care’, two similar, short words in English. If we do the first as the Lord instructs, Cast/Give to Him, then He can release us from carrying the Cares of this life. Not always easy, but we can know great peace in trusting Him.)
7 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. 1 Peter 5 Amplified Classic Bible
6-7 So, humble yourselves under God’s strong hand, and in his own good time he will lift you up. YOU CAN THROW THE WHOLE WEIGHT OF YOUR ANXIETIES UPON HIM, FOR YOU ARE HIS PERSONAL CONCERN. J B Phillips New Testament, PHPS
7 LET HIM HAVE ALL YOUR WORRIES AND CARES, for he is always thinking about you and watching everything that concerns you. The Living Bible
6-7 So be content with who you are, and don’t put on airs. God’s strong hand is on you; he’ll promote you at the right time. Live carefree before God; HE IS MOST CAREFUL WITH YOU. The Message
A sister in the Lord told us recently, that we should contend for Peace. Staying in Peace would allow God’s solution to come forth. Not an easy situation but the Lord teaches us Deep Lessons in times of trial.
God bless and keep you today.
