“Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you." (1 Peter 5:6-7)
The difficulties that have come with Covid-19 has caused many to become anxious. With the loss of employment, many worry if they will be able to provide for their family. With the self-isolations, many worry whether they will be able to see their family this Christmas. With the longevity of this season, many worry whether there will come an end. There are many worries, but there is still hope. We aren’t alone. We are never alone. There is someone who cares and is able to help. That someone is God. He is able to help, because He is mighty. His power is seen all around you. The sun that shines during the day giving energy to the plants, the river that runs through the valley providing nutrients and habitation to the animals, the moon that causes the tides to move sustaining life for all, are all there because of God’s creative power. Imagine what He can do to provide for you? However, it’s not only that He is able to help, but He is willing to help. And that is because He cares for you. But how can we know that for sure? We know because he sent His Son to come to earth to receive our payment for our sin (ie. death) so that there may be forgiveness and life for those who trust in Him. He met our greatest need. God is able to help, he is willing to help, so let us cast ALL our anxieties upon him. All the worries that we have because of this year. All the thoughts of “How will I provide for my family?”, “Will I be able to see my family?”, “Will there be an end to all this?”, “Will things become even more challenging?”…fling them ALL to the one who is able to help. Trust Him with your worries. Let Him have them. Yield yourself to His care. He is more than able to meet your need, whether it be strength, wisdom, courage, companionship, food, finances.
