Casting your Cares on Jesus

Casting your Cares on Jesus.

Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for God resists the proud, But gives grace to the humble. Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:5-7 NKJV)

Submit and be humble, because God resists people who are being proud.

Casting all your cares and worries on Jesus.

Casting = to throw hard with haste, to hurl it down.

Imagine writing your worries on a fresh egg and hurling it at the foot of the cross. You cannot take it back.

But why cast your cares on Jesus? 

Because that is His job, He cares for you.

He prays for you so you can pray. He cares so you don't have to.
