When the days are full and we have reached old age it is our children who will gather around us with love and care. No one at the end of life wishes they had spent more time at work! The demands of life are like gravity always pulling on us. Spend the days you have now reminded that faith and family are the two most important things. Everything else is secondary!
“Cast all of your cares on Him, for He cares for you.” I Peter 5:7 The beauty of this verse is that the very reason you can cast your cares on Him is because He cares for you. That’s His motivation–deep care and concern. I love those words, “He care for you.” simple but profound. Let those words soak into your heart and remember “cast” is an action word–let go of those cares and worries–cast them on Him! Be encouraged today!
The pressures of culture must never erode our standards. In fact, when culture disagrees or presses for change our standards are then most powerful and most effective. A candle is most useful when its environment grows dark!
