Hope for Today: A Daily Devotion from Reasons for Hope*Jesus
“How long shall I take counsel in my soul, having sorrow in my heart daily?” Psalm 13:2
“Be anxious for nothing — but in everything by prayer and supplication, with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God.” Philippians 4:6
“Commit your way to the LORD, Trust also in Him.” Psalm 37:5
“Cast your burden on the LORD, and He shall sustain you; He shall never permit the righteous to be moved.” Psalm 55:22
“You have done wonderful things; Your counsels of old are faithfulness and truth.” Isaiah 25:1
“Be anxious for nothing,” is a wall against a thousand troubles. If, on the other hand, we give way to care and unbelief, they will spread their mischievous effects through all our actions. Therefore, we ought while prosecuting our lawful engagements, to rely in all things on the good providence and faithfulness of God; firmly believing that He will never fail to carry us through the most difficult and intricate circumstances, though there should be ever so little probability in our own eyes. But this we never can do, except we realize that God is present with us, cares for us, and listens to us. God, as our Father wishes us to be happy in His love, active in His ways, and devoted to His praise. Therefore He offers to take all our cares on Himself, both for body and soul, for the present and future.
O for grace to humble ourselves under the mighty hand of God, casting all our cares upon Him because He cares for us! If God cares for us, surely we may live in peace. My soul, cast your every burden upon the Lord.
Devotion by Karl Heinrich von Bogatzky (1690—1774)
