Dealing with our cares…….
Psalm 55:16-22 (New Living Translation)
16 But I will call on God,
and the Lord will rescue me.
17 Morning, noon, and night
I cry out in my distress,
and the Lord hears my voice.
18 He ransoms me and keeps me safe
from the battle waged against me,
though many still oppose me.
19 God, who has ruled forever,
will hear me and humble them.
Interlude
For my enemies refuse to change their ways;
they do not fear God.
20 As for my companion, he betrayed his friends;
he broke his promises.
21 His words are as smooth as butter,
but in his heart is war.
His words are as soothing as lotion,
but underneath are daggers!
22 Give your burdens to the Lord,
and he will take care of you.
He will not permit the godly to slip and fall.
There isn’t much need to say anything more. We have cares, concerns, fears. God has the answers and He has promised He will never forsake us. It’s natural to worry and have concerns, but God in His Word says, “Give your burdens to the Lord and He will take care of you.”
We live in trying times, but we are not alone. He is still there, He still cares, and He still has a plan for our lives. This would be the best time to stay connected to Him.
