I am in the midst of reading this book "How to live Worry-Free", a book by Kenneth Hagin Jr. I believed I did not pick up this book at the Rock Book store by accident. As I began to read, I felt God has something to say to me which I have seem to miss many a time.
I know God's word clearly states that We are to cast ALL our care upon the Lord, for He cares for us. (1 Peter 5:7) I knew this verse long before, but I have missed something and that is I DID NOT obey completely! Many times, I only cast certain issues upon the Lord, issues which I think is important enough...but I have missed the point!
As God opened my eyes to read AGAIN, I realised that He did not say "Certain issues" but "ALL". And when God says "ALL", He meant EVERYTHING!
And what happened when I obey and do that?
Cast your burden on the Lord. and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved. - Psalm 55:22 -
This is the first time I SAW that. Thank you, Lord!
So, God is saying...I hold up my end of my bargain, so to speak, by casting my burdens on Him, and let Him [God] hold up His end of the bargain. My part is to do all the casting, and He is to do the sustaining! Hallelujah!
