HE CARETH FOR ME!
FRIDAY, DECEMBER 11
Psalm 27:1-14

1 Peter 5:6-11

 

“In every thing by

prayer and supplication.”

 

HE CARETH FOR ME!
 
It is a happy way of soothing sorrow when you can say, “He careth for me!” Christian! Do not dishonour your religion by always wearing a brow of care. Come, cast your burden upon your Lord. You are staggering beneath some crushing weight. To Him it is but as the small dust of the balance. Why struggle in your own little strength? Nothing is so sweet as to:
 
Lie passive in God’s hands,
And know no will but His.
 
O, child of suffering, be patient. God has not passed over you in His providence. He who feeds the sparrow will also supply your need. Do not give up in despair. In Him there is hope! Sail the sea of trouble in His ship of faith. “With Christ in the vessel you can smile at the storm.” Hear Him command the wind and wave, “Peace, be still” (Mark 4:39). Cast all your care upon Him, for He careth for you.
 
Remember, you are one of His family. He will bind up your wounds, and heal your broken heart. Never doubt His grace because of your tribulation. Believe that He loves you as much in trouble as in happiness: He changes not. Why then struggle with your load of care? Leave the providing to the God of providence; and see if He will not grant you a serene and quiet life.
 
God cares for you! Why then are you full of care? Can you trust Him for your soul, and not for your body? He never refuses to bear your burdens; He never faints under their weight. Come, dear reader, away with anxious cares! Leave all your worries and concerns in the hands of our gracious God.
 
THOUGHT: He who cares for the sparrow will surely care for me.
PRAYER: Forgive me, Father, for my lack of faith in Thee. To Thee will I run with my burdens and cares.
