GOD-TRACKING IS CASTING YOUR CARES ON JESUS, ALWAYS

“So, if you carry the cares of the world on your shoulders then stop doing what you’re doing right now and do some care-casting.”

Psalm 28:7
The LORD is my strength and my shield; my heart trusts in him, and I am helped. My heart leaps for joy and I will give thanks to him in song.

I went for a walk the other day with the cares of the world on my shoulders. I was anxious about many things that day: an ache in my knee, cares about other people’s cares, worry about financial issues. As I walked, I prayed out loud for these needs (thankfully I was alone on a country path). I found myself complaining to God about mistakes I’d made in the past and disappointments clouding my vision. The more I grumbled and worried the tighter the knot became in my belly until I almost audibly heard the voice of the Holy Spirit say, “Cast your cares upon me!” Immediately I stopped, took out my mobile phone (it has a notepad app on it) and made a list of all that I was anxious about. Under a tree on the side of a hill in the Worcestershire countryside that day, I did some care-casting!

Jesus told us not to worry about tomorrow. He told us to look at nature and see how God, in his creative love and wisdom, takes care of the needs of the birds or the air and the flowers of the field. “Who of you by worrying can add a single hour to his life?” he said. “Therefore, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself.” Jesus then called us to firstly focus on God’s kingdom and his righteousness. He promised that if we do this then all that we are worried about would simply fall into place. In other words, if you and I become concerned about the cares of this world then they will consume us! However, if we seek God’s stuff first then we will enjoy rest and reward.

So, if you carry the cares of the world on your shoulders then stop doing what you’re doing right now and do some care-casting. Pray your needs through and believe that the Lord is your strength and your shield. Then fix your eyes on the kingdom and goodness of God. If you trust in him then he will help and provide for you every step of the way.

God-tracking is casting your cares on Jesus, always.

DON’T GIVE UP, LOOK UP & PRAY

Dear Lord and God, today I do some care-casting in Jesus’ name!

“Dear Lord and God, I’m sorry for worrying so much. I realise that I have been consumed by the cares of this world instead of seeking first the things of your kingdom. Today, I lay down all my worries, cares and concerns at your feet. Dear Lord and God, today I do some care-casting in Jesus’ name! I cast my cares on you: every financial need, every health concern, every worry about a loved one, every disappointment, every fear of what the future may hold and every offence that I have suffered at the criticisms of others. I do not give up, but I rather look up into your eyes for help and my purpose. Thank you that you know my tomorrow and have a plan for my good future. Tonight, I will sleep in peace because you are my hope. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS REMAINING SEATED WITH GOD IN CHRISTMore

GOD-TRACKING IS REMAINING SEATED WITH GOD IN CHRIST

Ephesians 1:3
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly places
More at surereality.net

I awoke around 3.00am and I lay in bed thinking about what I’ve done with my life. Have I had any real effect on the lives of those to whom I minister? What are God’s plans for tomorrow, next week, next year? Then worries, doubts and disillusion creep in. Thoughts like these always seem so magnified at that time of night, don’t they?

I call this the wonder hour. I often wake up around 3.00am wondering why I’m awake. Psychologists tell us that it’s at this time in our sleep cycle that our subconscious minds are attempting to solve problems and rationalise our activities. I climbed out of bed and went downstairs to pour myself a glass of milk. Sitting sipping the cool drink in the lounge I prayed, “Dear Lord, there are so many things going on at this time. I feel like I’m losing the plot. I cast my cares on you, because I know you care for me.” In a flash I sensed the Spirit’s reply, “I will give you a spirit of wisdom and of revelation. All things are under the feet of Christ and you are seated with God, in Christ.” I returned to bed at peace and content.

Philippians 2 tells us that God sent Jesus, who humbled himself in the form of a man, to die on a cross for our sins. Because of his humility and obedience, God then exalted Jesus to the highest place, giving him a name that is above every name. At the name of Jesus the Christ, every knee will bow! Then in Ephesians 2 we read that, because of his great grace and mercy, if we acknowledge Jesus as Lord, we are seated in Christ with God. So, the next time you’ve had a tough day or are facing daunting prospects for the future and wake up at the wonder hour, I encourage you to cast your cares on him. Then put your feet up and rest on the lap of Christ, in God’s perfect place.

I am seated with God in Christ in heaven places, and nothing can move me

“O Lord, I’m sorry for becoming so anxious about my life and work. Today I conscientiously cast my cares upon you, because you care for me. Take all my fears, worries and concerns for the future. I acknowledge you in all my activities and all my relationships. I confess now, because I acknowledge you as Lord of my life, I am seated with God in Christ in heaven places, and nothing can move me. Amen.”

GOD-TRACKING IS STANDING SURE IN THE WISDOM, POWER AND LOVE OF OUR AWESOME GOD

Dear God-tracker

GOD-TRACKING IS STANDING SURE IN THE WISDOM, POWER AND LOVE OF OUR AWESOME GOD

Jeremiah 32:17
Ah, Lord GOD! It is you who have made the heavens and the earth by your great power and by your outstretched arm! Nothing is too hard for you.

Our God is an awesome God,
He reigns from heaven above,
With wisdom, power and love,
Our God is an awesome God!

How many times I’ve sung these amazing words written by the late Rich Mullins, with gusto but not really grasped what I was singing. Listen again: Our God is an awesome God who reigns from heaven above with wisdom, power and love. Our God is sovereign and omnipotent. Our God made the heavens and the earth by his outstretched arm (and the estimated size of the known universe is 8,800,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 metres in diameter), nothing is too difficult for him. Our God is full of wisdom, power and love, showing his love to generation upon generation of mankind while loving each one of us as though we were the only human alive. By the intimacy of personal fellowship through the Holy Spirit our God knows our needs, our dreams and our fears. Our God owns the cattle on a thousand hills; the world and its fullness is his. Our God is able to meet all our needs according to his glorious riches in Christ.

Whatever difficulty you’re facing today, don’t give up; look up!  Gaze at your difficulties through the spectacles of God’s awesome wisdom, power and love. His arm is not too short and his compassions are not too small to reveal his love, grace and power new every morning. If you turn to him today in repentance and submission, putting your trust in his love for you, then I know he will lift you out of that pit you find yourself in. He will be your hope for tomorrow and your strength for today. Our God cares for you, so go ahead – cast all your cares on him. Humble yourself before our God’s awesome hand and stand your ground against the devil’s schemes. God will exalt you above your foes. Never loose heart; always be encouraged. He will never leave nor forsake you.

God’s Word is the only resource you’ll ever need to face the trials of life. God’s Word is your daily food and it will nourish your soul. The living Holy Spirit watches over God’s Word and activates it in your life. So fill your heart and your mind – your very life – with the Word of God and the fellowship the Holy Spirit. Do this and you will have all you’ll ever need to face any attack of Satan. And the next time you sing that lovely simple worship song by Rich Mullins, sing with understanding and listening to its words. Boldly declare, our God is an awesome God!

God-tracking is standing sure in the wisdom, power and love of our awesome God

God bless you

Dudley

God-tracking is dumping your stress on him, because he cares for you

Dear God-tracker
 
God-tracking is dumping your stress on him, because he cares for you

“I just don’t know how much longer I can go on,” said Tony. He paused for effect while his doctor waited patiently for him to continue. “It seems I can never make my boss happy; he is always attacking me. And I never see my wife these days. Her job takes her away from home so much. And then there’s our finance… they’re in a mess. I just want to quit! What should I do?” Tony’s doctor began scribbling out a script as he tried as best he could to console his patient. Tony was a victim of one of the pandemics that affect most people these days – stress.

I think Jesus new about stress. We often read of him taking time out by himself to rest and recharge his physical batteries. (One thing we tend to forget about Jesus the Son of God is he was also as much a human as you and I are.) Work overload and the cares of this life take their toll on the best of us. All too often we so overcommit ourselves or overstretch our commitments that we become useless to those we serve and a danger to ourselves. Jesus was being literally followed by thousands of people every day. Whenever he stepped out of a house or even within its walls the crowds hounded him for healings and miracles. But Jesus knew the importance of care casting. He would regularly withdraw to pray to Father.

Cast all your cares on the Lord, because he cares for you. Your God is a great big God and he will meet all your needs according to his riches in Christ. He is your source and your resource. One of the consequences of stress is a sense of hopelessness. Hopelessness has a horrible habit of becoming increasingly hopeless the more you dwell on it. But there is hope! In fact, the God of hope will fill you with overflowing hope by the supernatural power of his Holy Spirit if you will only turn to him. Jesus knew all that you would be facing today, that is why he said, “Do not be anxious about tomorrow, for tomorrow will be anxious for itself. Sufficient for the day is its own trouble.” 

So take time out today in prayer to upload your problems to the domain of heaven.

Quote of the Week
A Sample of Dudley’s Fave Quotes.

“Prayer is releasing the energies of God. For prayer is asking God to do what we cannot do.” --- Charles Trumbull
 

Don’t Give Up, Look Up!Look up and Fix Your Eyes on Jesus!

Instead of stressing out I choose to retreat to a quiet place and put my hope in you. 

Pray:
“Dear Father, I feel so overloaded today. It feels like the whole world is closing in on me. Help me to deal with my responsibilities and my work load. Forgive me for taking all this stress upon myself. I choose now, therefore, to cast my cares upon you. I offload my worries about money, my concerns for health and the cares of my family upon your shoulders. I know that you love me and that you are very capable of helping me deal with all these issues. Instead of stressing out I choose to retreat to a quiet place and put my hope in you. Amen.”
