Cast your cares

“Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous fall.”  Psalm 55:22

from my One Year Devotional, Walk With God, by Chris Tiegreen:

“It makes no sense to cast our cares on God and then take them up again.  When we trust Him with our concerns, we ask Him to manage them.  We acknowledge our own futility, and we rely on His power to resolve them.  We actively watch, not ignorantly wait.   We expectantly believe, not aggressively intervene.  We act when He says to act and sit still when He says to sit.  We obey His instructions because we know He’s in charge - and we’re comfortable with that.  We can go to sleep at night knowing we can do nothing more effective than acknowledging His wisdom, power, love, and Lordship.  We can wake up without a single burden, because our burdens are on His shoulders.  We refuse to micromanage.  We will hope only in Him, because He is where our cares have been cast.”

whew!  I don’t know about you, but I definitely want to wake up without a single burden!  I need Him so badly…..Be blessed today, this day~
