Placing Our Cares on God, rather than Ourselves*Let this God inspired writing, from His heart to yours; teach you how to stay clear of the deceptive snare that can keep you caught up in the cares of the day. Oh how the night hour can bring loneliness and even cause everything from the day to come alive...to the place, where these moments of the day, now keep us awake...to drain us of the strength we need for another new day.
Once we become caught up in moments that have already passed us by; we find ourselves reliving times that no longer exist, until we find that these moments gone by, are now controlling us like a puppet on a string. Not only do we find ourselves following after these moments that no longer exist; but we also find that our minds and hearts have become clouded over by deception. These become the moments, when Satan has caught us in a deceptive snare; that he is now planning to use, as a means of locking us within a prison cell of despair; where he can continue to have control over us, as a means of keeping us distant from God...the One we truly need, during difficult times such as these. How many times have we felt distant from the presence of God...only to realize later that we were the ones who became distant from Him, while choosing to follow after moments that were no longer real. Oh how we need to remain distant, from the snares that can trap us and lead us away from God. Don't we realize that focusing on the cares of the day...only makes it that much more difficult to experience the care that God longs to give us, during these difficult times? From this time forth, we need to take these moments and thoughts of the day before God, rather than trying to figure them out...only to find more problems along the way. When we choose to bypass the thoughts that stem from a day of anxiety, fear and the unknown; then a new path will open up before us...a path that will take us further away from these moments that had attempted to bring us low...to lead us to a higher plateau...one that can take us far above the cares of the day...Amen!! |
