DAILY?READINGS: Gen. 28; Job 36-37; Matt. 15:1-28

 

Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.    1 Peter 5:7

 

A lady told me her husband was a fisherman, and that she worried about him when he went fishing. She then added that when he did not go, she thought of something else to worry about. Are we not all a bit like her? We always seem to be swamped with some worry or another. Often they come and then disappear, never happening. Our verse for today says to cast all our cares and worries on Him. That is hard to do. If we believe the last part of the verse, it makes it easier. “…he careth for you.” God is far ahead of us in our problems. So why worry? What ever happens is under His control.    —Harold G. Smith

 

O yes, He cares, I know He cares, His heart is touched with my grief;
When the days are weary, the long night dreary, I know my Saviour cares.         —Frank E. Graeff
