7 Throw all your anxieties upon him, because he cares about you.

I have read it over and over this morning.

Throw all your anxieties upon him, because he cares about you.
Throw all your anxieties upon him, because he cares about you.
Throw all your anxieties upon him, because he cares about you.

Have you ever thrown a basketball? Ever thrown anything? It takes a decision and movement doesn’t it? You can’t be passive about it. You can’t just sit there and hope it will happen. You have to make a move. Hmm. Throw. It is the word used here.

So to get my anxieties upon Him I have to make a move. And that move is TRUST. Trust is active. It is a decision that I make and He supplies the power to follow through. To actually do the casting as the King James version reads.

7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

And why should I make this active decision to throw all my anxieties upon Him? Because HE CARES ABOUT ME.

HE CARES ABOUT YOU.

HE cares.

You name it. Whatever anxiety you have. Fill in the blank or blanks _________, _________, ________.  He cares!

Lets play some basketball on this 24th day of 2014.

19 Pilate then took Yeshua and had him flogged. 2 The soldiers twisted thorn-branches into a crown and placed it on his head, put a purple robe on him, 3 and went up to him, saying over and over, “Hail, ‘king of the Jews’!” and hitting him in the face.

And what would have been your response and my response if this were the treatment we received?

That’s why we need a Savior!

May we choose A Gratitude Day!, my Friends, on this 16th day of 2014!!

Here’s . . .

Just a phrase from my Journey reading this morning. “. . . even in His holiness, He understands our humanness.”

14 For he understands how we are made, he remembers that we are dust. via Ps 103 KJV;CJB – Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that – Bible Gateway.

which started me at Psalm 103. Here’s a link if you want to read the whole of it.

Here’s an excerpt to take on your way today.

17 But the mercy of Adonai on those who fear him is from eternity past to eternity future, and his righteousness extends to his children’s children, 18 provided they keep his covenant and remember to follow his precepts.

via Ps 103 KJV;CJB – Bless the LORD, O my soul: and all that – Bible Gateway.

Blessings my Friends on this 15th day of 2014,
