Dearly beloved,
The Lord is our refuge at all times. He cares for those who trust in Him. When we cling on to the feet of the Lord and commit all our worries and burdens to Him without carrying them by ourselves, He removes them and makes us live happily. This is the excellent blessing that a person who holds on to the feet of God enjoys in his life.
The Lord Jesus said, “Do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34). As said by the Lord, worries and burdens arise in everyone’s life. They are part of this life and world. More particularly, we face so many distressing situations in our family lives. Yet when we cling on to the Lord even in the midst of these and cast our cares upon the Lord, He will care for us.
Hagar, the maidservant of Sarah, and her son were wandering in the wilderness in a forsaken state. When the water in the skin was used up, she placed the boy under one of the bushes. Then she went off and sat down nearby and began to sob. God heard the boy crying, and the angel of God called to Hagar from heaven and said to her, "Lift the boy up and take him by the hand, for I will make him into a great nation." Then God opened her eyes and she saw a well of water. So she went and filled the skin with water and gave the boy a drink (Genesis 21:15-19).
Similarly, the Lord will take care of your matters and grant all your needs. He will give a child to those who do not have a child; He will open a way for marriage for those who are not married; He will heal those who are sick. Perhaps, you may be an ordinary person in the sight of the people of this world. But you are special in the sight of God!
The Bible says, “Cast all your anxiety on Him because He cares for you” (I Peter 5:7). As said in the above verse, place all your cares upon the Lord as He is concerned about your wellbeing. He shall carry your burdens and take care of all your needs.
