If we ever want to find peace in this world, we must learn to trust God! We must understand that there are so many things that are outside of our control, and it takes humility to develop that strong confidence in a caring God. 1 Peter 5:7 reminds us that we must “cast all our cares upon Him; for He cares for you.” The word “casting” was used to describe throwing something on some other object. We are to take all our anxiety, discontent, and discouragement, despair, questioning, pain, and suffering that we are going through and toss it all onto God. We trads those things for confidence in God’s goodness and power. Spiritual maturing begins with two fundamental things: One an attitude of humility toward God and others, and second a trust in God’s care. We must fill our minds with the truths of God’s Word that will carry us through each day with the promises of His provision.
