Cast Your Cares
This morning I am finishing up the series “Baggage” with the final sermon “Cast Your Cares.”
Some of the baggage we haul around with us gives us anxiety about things out of our control. When we feel anxious, instead of bottling it up and keeping it within us, we should cast it on Jesus and trust Him to handle it. Amen?
“Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall.” - Psalm 55:22
Not only is today’s sermon and my blog on Casting your Cares away, but the daily verse from Bible You Version app was Psalm 55:22! I would say God is talking to each one of us this morning. Amen?
There is only one thing we must do before casting our cares on Jesus. That is to humble ourselves.
1 Peter 5:6-7 NIV (6) Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. (7) Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
Remember the story of Mary and Martha when Jesus came to visit? Martha was running through the house trying to get everything just right and then was irritated because Mary wasn’t helping. Can’t you get a visual of Jesus looking at Martha and shaking his head, “Martha, Martha….” She was worrying herself to an anxiety boil over! Jesus said to chill out and look at what is really important, amen?
Are you a Martha or are you a Mary?
Cast your cares on Jesus this morning and just lay at his feet and listen. He has something to tell you this morning.
Have a Blessed Day!

Amen! I have a tendency to be a Martha but I can be a Mary. I'm really trying to give things to Jesus and lay them at His feet. The best way for me personally is to not listen to the things that make me boil or look at and read the things that I can not change. The thing that I can do is listen to Christian music with a positive message, read Gods word and pray in earnest.
Great idea.
Very good words. Thank you Lord and thank you Pastor Monty
Amen brother! God's got this
