1 Peter 5:7

Cares. Man, we all have those, don’t we? We care about our loved ones. We care about our finances. We care about ourselves and what the future holds. At times, we find ourselves sunk into predicaments that appear to have no solution. That’s when God’s promises change from words on paper to a lifeboat afloat on a raging sea.

Let’s focus on the word “casting” in this verse. Casting is translated from the Greek word epiripsantes. Literally, it means to throw something upon something else. It is a word that describes action. You and I are to throw our care and our anxiety to Jesus. He wants you to; He will gladly catch that pass. He will hold it, bear it, and deal with it. Why? Because He cares for you. Imagine that, your Creator, your Redeemer, your Savior, your King….He cares for you. Today, let’s step up and throw all of our cares upon Jesus. We don’t have to hold onto them one minute longer.
