A Place for Everything

Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken.

Psalm 55:22 NIV

In this psalm, David is being harassed and tormented by his enemies. He is overwhelmed - vvs 4-5 read, My heart is in anguish within me; the terrors of death have fallen on me. Fear and trembling have beset me; horror has overwhelmed me... so much so that he just wants to sprout wings and fly away.

I dare to say that at one time or another, all of us have wanted to sprout wings and fly away from troubles in this life. What I love about David is he always points us back to the Lord. 

Cast your cares on the Lord... other Bible translations say 'give them to...', 'turn them over to...', 'pile your troubles on...'. In other words, Dear Ones, put them where they belong! When we follow the Lord, there is a place for everything - for us and for every burden. He will take care of everything. 

Prayer:

Father,

          You are the perfect resting place, our shelter, our protector and provider, our redeemer. Thank You for doing the impossible to make it so easy for us to reach You. We trust You. Keep us ever mindful of putting everything in the right place - Your hands. In Jesus' Name we pray. Amen
