TEXT
"Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you." - 1 Pet 5:7
No matter the situation you may be passing through in life, it is soothing to learn that God the Creator and Sustainer of life says that He cares for you.
Agreed, but there are circumstances of life that appear very critical; yet if God who can not lie say that He cares, then we must believe and trust Him to see us through.
Sometimes, we are not able to understand why for instance, God would permit what we consider as "undue delay" in accomplishing certain goals of life, such as marriage.
There is the One who understands all things and cares about everything. His Eye is fixed on you, his Heart beats with pity for your woe, and his Hand omnipotent shall yet bring you the needed help.
The darkest cloud shall scatter itself in showers of mercy. We are told in Eccl 3:1 that " To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under the heavens " (see also Eccl 3:17;8:6)
When God delays, He is not inactive. He is getting ready His instruments, He is ripening our powers; and at the appointed moment we shall arise equal to our task. Even Jesus of Nazareth was thirty years in privacy, growing in wisdom before He began His work.
The Bible says in the book of
Ecclesiastes 3:11 that "He hath made everything beautiful in his time: also He hath set the world in their heart, so that no man can find out the work that God maketh from the beginning to the end."
Jesus our Lord and Saviour made us to understand also that there are times or seasons, which the Father hath put in His own power (Act1:7)
God is never, in a hurry but spends years with those He expects to greatly use. He never thinks the days of preparation are too long.
Our duty as children of God, is to wait patiently for Him to unveil that which He has in store for us at His own timing, one thing after the other. We must never forget that He is the Sovereign God, and also, that it is better to walk in the dark with God than to walk alone in the light.
Eccl.12.13 says "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."
We have been commanded to fear the LORD and to keep His commandments.
He has promised He will never fail us, as He did not fail the men of old who trusted in Him.
God bless you!
PRAYER
Dear God, I hereby refrain from my complaints that you delayed. I release my life into your Hand, earnestly waiting for my consolation to come, in Jesus name.
