IF IT MATTERS TO YOU, IT MATTERS TO GOD

1 Peter 5:7 NKJV casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

Do you sometime have things happen and they bother you, but you say, “Oh, it doesn’t matter”, when really it does? It might have been a disappointment, or you were hurt, or someone let you down and you’re trying to deal with the consequences. Maybe someone else won the job you thought you should have had and it mattered - a lot!

The good news is God knows all about it because He cares about us, and for us, and if something has happened to one of His children then He’s on it! He’s telling us today if it matters to you, then it matters to your God who loves you.😊

That word ‘cast’ is like seeing yourself standing on the bank of a river holding your fishing line with all your cares and disappointments and hurts tied to the hook, and casting them way out into God’s deep river of love and leaving them there and then walking away.

Our God is more than able to deal with everything that matters to us and He’s waiting for us to give it all to Him to sort out. 

Matthew 6:30 NLT And if God cares so wonderfully for wildflowers that are here today and thrown into the fire tomorrow, he will certainly care for you. Why do you have so little faith?

He’s asking us to go to the riverbank today with whatever has stolen our peace, all the upsets, and don’t drop them in the shallows where we can paddle in to fish them back out again!😊

Cast them far out, let them go, and let God do what He does best - care for us, help, strengthen and uphold us and believe He’s turning everything round for your good, everything that matters to you, because it matters to Him too. In Jesus name. Amen.
