"Therefore
I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye
shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more
than meat, and the body than raiment?" (Matthew 6:25).
As a child of God you must come to the point in your life where you know, without a doubt, that God is not only big enough to take care of you but equally willing to do so. He is more willing for you to live and enjoy life to the full than you could ever be. This takes the stress out of life; knowing that you serve a loving and compassionate Father, whose desire is for you to live a victorious life. The reason many people in the world are unhappy and burdened with lots of worries, being surfeited with the cares of life is that they are yet to accept His invitation: they haven’t given Him their cares.
1 Peter 5:7 says "Casting all your cares upon him; for he
careth for you." God cares for you personally; that means He knows
you and He’s concerned about you, therefore trust Him with your life. The
Psalmist knew what it meant to trust the Lord this way; he was so sure of God’s
ability and willingness to guarantee his safety hence declared with all
certainty: "Though I walk in the midst of trouble, thou wilt revive
me: thou shalt stretch forth thine hand against the wrath of mine enemies, and
thy right hand shall save me" (Psalm 138:7). This should be
your attitude as a child of God.
Too many are focusing on the
challenges and problems they’re facing, and as a result, lose sight of God’s
grace and presence with them. By meditating on their challenges they
short-circuit the power of God from working on their behalf. Refuse to dwell on
whatever challenges you may be facing right now! Rather, think about the
ability of the Spirit; He is all-great and powerful and can put you over every
adversity.
