OUR LORD WHO CARES FOR US

Our Lord Jesus deeply treasures those who believe in Him.  These are the ones who gain salvation by trusting in Jesus' ability to save us through His death on a cross in our place.

He cares for those who have counted on Him to wrest them out of darkness and lift them into His kingdom of light.

In 1 Peter 5 verse 6 - 7, God's care for us is framed like this:

Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you. 

God's care for us is such that we are to cast our anxieties upon Him for we must have confidence in His attentive concern for us and we must know that nothing escapes His notice.

Whatever fear or worry we carry, we are charged to off-load it into His care and we can live wholly for His Kingdom unencumbered by the matters in our lives that He takes care of on our behalf.

Praise the name of the Lord.

Amen.
