Running Low ?

Running Low?
 
Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 
1st Peter 5:7 (NIV)

It would be sad to know that God existed but he did not know our needs. But he does know. It would be awful if God knew our needs but did not care, about our circumstances. But God does care. It would be tragic if God knew our needs but was unable to do anything about them. But God is able. But because God knows and God is able and God cares, we can we assured that God will answer.
                   In Peter’s epistle, it is revealed that believers are undergoing hardships, and despite all the advances in the world, hardships still occur today. What we must understand is that despite all our adversities and problems there is no one excluded from God’s compassion and care.
                            The Bible states that in spite of the willful disobedience of men God allowed his Son to die for their sins. The book of Romans says, “But God demonstrated his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners Christ died for us.” (Rom. 5:8 NIV). This tells us how deep and unconditional his love and care for us is. When we did not care for him, when our backs were turned against him in rejection, he loved us. That is what the cross is all about. We can never go so far that the love of God can not reach us.
            So much in our world is impersonal. To the government you might be just a number. But God still knows who you are. To your co-workers you might be just an outsider. But God still knows who you are. To your classmates you might be someone without any friends. But God still knows who you are. To your family you might be the one they just ignore. But God still knows who you are. In the description of Jesus as the Good shepherd, we are told that he knows his own by name. (John 10:3)
            So before the needle in your tank hits empty you are invited by God to “cast all our cares upon him”. He is available but it is up to you to rely on Him or not. God is ready to bear the burden of your sorrow and sin, all we need to do is just ask.

May God Bless.
