Rest in Him

From Journey Fri 20 Nov 2009
"Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you." (1 Peter 5:7)
When we worry, we're choosing to carry our own burdens . . . instead of entrusting them to the God who sees all, knows all and has control over them all.
We need to remember who God is and that He is good. If life is squeezing in, it becomes tough to remember that you're not alone, that God is before you and behind you hemming you in (Psalm 139:5) and that He is with you always.
When you're worried, remind yourself of the goodness of God. Remember how He came to earth to rescue us because He loves us.
Our job is to walk faithfully with God. He calls us to love Him, to love others and to do the next right thing that lies in front of us. We can't control most of the obstacles that come our way nor can we control other people. We can only control ourselves so we must do the next right thing in every situation and trust that God will see us through it all. As you walk faithfully with Him, He will take care of your every need (Psalm 55:22).
