Cast All Your Care On God

1 Peter 5:7 says, “Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you.” Those words are like a lifeline in a storm. God doesn’t tell us to manage our own burdens or carry them until we collapse—He tells us to cast them on Him.

1. The Weight We Weren’t Meant to Carry

Life comes with its share of worries—bills, health, relationships, the unknown future. If you try to shoulder all of it alone, you’ll feel crushed. God never designed you to bear that load. He invites you to toss it onto His strong shoulders and let Him carry it for you.

2. Casting Means Letting Go

Casting isn’t gently placing something down—it’s throwing it away from yourself. Too often, we “pray” about our cares but keep them in our back pocket, ready to pick up again. True casting means trusting God enough to release the grip completely.

“Worry is carrying tomorrow’s load with today’s strength—carrying two days at once.” – Corrie ten Boom

3. Why We Can Trust Him

We can cast our care on Him because He cares for us—not just in a general, world-sized way, but personally, intimately, and constantly. He sees every tear, hears every sigh, and understands every unspoken fear.

4. The Exchange That Changes Everything

When we give God our anxiety, He gives us His peace (Philippians 4:6-7). When we hand Him our confusion, He gives us His guidance. When we surrender our fear, He gives us His courage. That’s the best trade you’ll ever make.

💭 Final Thought: Your hands were made to lift in worship, not to cling to worry. Let go. Cast your cares on God today—and walk in the freedom of knowing they’re in the safest hands in the universe.

Don’t Wind Up In Spiritual Intensive Care

Hebrews 5:11-14. Of whom we have many things to say, and hard to be uttered, seeing ye are dull of hearing.
For when for the time ye ought to be teachers, ye have need that one teach you again which be the first principles of the oracles of God; and are become such as have need of milk, and not of strong meat. For every one that useth milk is unskilful in the word of righteousness: for he is a babe. But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.

In South Africa diamond miners must search through thousands of tons of dirt to find one precious diamond. 

Sometimes we are  inclined to search through an entire congregation of diamonds to find a little bit of dirt.

Can You Spare A Minute Or So 8/17?

If you can find five minutes, can you spare one or two?

Two lumberjacks of equal skill, experience, and stature work side by side, chopping down trees together every single day.

However, one lumberjack works non-stop, without taking a break, whereas the other takes an hour-long lunch break every afternoon.

Despite working for less time, both lumberjacks inevitably chop the same number of trees by the end of each working day.

Puzzled and frustrated, the lumberjack who works all day long asks the other how he manages to chop just as much as him while still taking a break.

To this, he responds:

“It’s simple. I spend that hour at home sharpening my axe.”

Seek To Be A Servant To The People

In a world where titles, positions, and recognition are often prized above all else, Jesus calls us to something higher—and yet humbler: to be a servant. In Mark 10:43-44, He says, “Whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all.”

1. Greatness in God’s Kingdom Looks Different

In God’s eyes, greatness isn’t measured by how many people serve you, but by how many people you serve. The path upward in the kingdom of God always begins by going lower—bending the knee, rolling up your sleeves, and putting others first.

2. Serving Is More Than Doing Tasks

Being a servant isn’t just about what you do, it’s about how you do it. True servants serve with humility, joy, and love, even when there’s no applause. They see every act of service—big or small—as an offering to the Lord.

“The measure of a man is not how many servants he has, but how many people he serves.”

3. Jesus: The Perfect Example

The King of Kings washed the dusty feet of His disciples (John 13:14-15). If the Son of God was willing to stoop so low to meet the needs of others, how can we refuse to do the same?

4. Eternal Impact of a Servant’s Heart

When you serve God by serving others, you leave an eternal mark. Your kindness may be forgotten by people, but it’s never forgotten by God. Hebrews 6:10 assures us, “God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people.”

💭 Final Thought: Don’t chase the spotlight—carry the towel. In God’s kingdom, the servants are the ones who will hear, “Well done, good and faithful servant.”

Life Is Only A Vapor

August 16

James 4:14 says, “For what is your life? It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and then vanishes away.” That single verse puts life in sharp perspective. No matter how strong we feel or how far into the future we plan, life is short, fragile, and fleeting.

1. The Mist That Fades

If you’ve ever seen your breath on a cold morning, you’ve watched a perfect picture of life. It appears for a moment, dances in the air, and is gone. That’s not meant to make us fearful—it’s meant to make us purposeful.

2. Living with Intent

When we understand how quickly time passes, we stop wasting it on what doesn’t matter. Grudges feel heavier. Gossip feels emptier. And kindness feels more urgent. Every sunrise is a reminder that we have one more chance to do what God put us here to do.

“Only one life, ’twill soon be past; only what’s done for Christ will last.” – C.T. Studd

3. Make It Count

Speak love freely. Don’t wait until it’s too late to say what needs to be said. Serve generously. The smallest act of kindness can echo in eternity. Live ready. None of us knows when our vapor will vanish, so live in a way that leaves no regrets.

4. The Hope Beyond the Vapor

For those who trust Christ, this life is just the first breath before eternity. Our vapor is not the end—it’s the beginning of forever with Him. That gives us courage to face each day with joy, purpose, and hope.

💭 Final Thought: You are here for just a moment—make that moment shine so brightly that when your vapor fades, the warmth of your life lingers in the hearts you’ve touched.

Quote:

Your enemies can never stop you from being blessed by God!

Story:

One day a father and his rich family took his son on a trip to the country with the firm purpose of showing him how poor people really can be. They spent a day and a night at the farm of a very poor family. When they returned from their trip, the father asked his son, “How was the trip?”

“Very good, Dad!”

“Did you see how poor people can be?” the father asked.

“Yeah!”

“And what did you learn?”

The son replied: “I saw that we have a dog at home, and they have four. We have a pool that reaches to the middle of the garden; they have a creek that is two miles long. We have imported lamps in the garden; they have the stars. Our patio reaches to the front yard; they have a whole horizon.” When the little boy finished speaking, his father was speechless. His son added, “Thanks, Dad, for showing me how poor we are.”

True wealth and riches comes only from Jesus Christ.

Scripture:

1 Timothy 6:6-10

But godliness with contentment is great gain. For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. And having food and raiment let us be therewith content. But they that will be rich fall into temptation and a snare, and into many foolish and hurtful lusts, which drown men in destruction and perdition. For the love of money is the root of all evil: which while some coveted after, they have erred from the faith, and pierced themselves through with many sorrows.
