FOREVER IN GOD'S CARE

Casting all your care upon Him for He cares for you (1 Peter 5:7)

Why does your father or mother care for you? Because they love you. If I am travelling to some place, my mother used to call me several times in phone. She cares about where I am going, what I am doing, what my situation is and so on. If our worldly parents care this much, have you ever thought how much does the heavenly father care for us?

The scripture declares the care, love and protection that the sovereign God have for humanity. God, who is the alpha and omega has an infinitely superior plan for each one of us. He knows our abilities, weaknesses, all details of our lives and deepest need of our hearts. Psalm 139 :13 says  “For it was You who created my inward parts. You knit me together in my mother’s womb.”

God’s desire is to guide our lives and direct our ways. But do you have time to hear  God? Most of the time we make plans on our understanding. But  the scripture says  “A person plans his course, but the Lord directs his steps”( Proverbs 16:9).  So our responsibility is to know God, walk with Him and share with Him. Make Almighty as your mighty fortress. The book of  Proverbs, gives the key for God’s guidance:“Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and lean not on your own understanding, In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct your paths” (Proverbs 3:5-6). “In all your ways acknowledge Him” means in everything you do. Let Him guide you.

We can depend on God's presence and care in any situation because the Lord's unfailing love surrounds the one who trusts in him."Humble yourselves before the Lord and He will lift you up"(James 4:10). In the ups and downs of our walk of faith, God pours the rain of love and care upon us. Turn from self reliance to God reliance. Know your heavenly father, trust him implicitly and attain a spiritual maturity which will form the basis of His guidance.
