After we’ve read a thousand books, and written some, and after we’ve heard ten thousand sermons, and sung a million words of worship, and after we’ve “given it all” to Him again, and after we’ve been anointed six times and counting; there still came no end to our thirst.
How, then, do I cast all my care on Him? How do I drink the water he talks about so I will never be thirsty again? (1 Peter 5:7––John 4:14)
The answer really isn’t just an answer. Answers are different than a way. Neither is it much work on my part. It’s easy, like He promised. And the burden is ridiculously light in comparison to all the oppression religion dumps on us.
The devil loves religion. He uses it to condemn us. Sometimes our closest friends do the same. Jesus, our very closest Friend, does not. Neither does the Holy Spirit. They love us through our difficulties and, they get us through them.
Jesus said He is the way. Oh brothers and sisters, we do need practical wisdom, but we won’t have arrived, not that way; not by the reasoning of the mind.
We will sacrifice, pay off our homes, and pile up some money or investments. Those are a few ideas.
Some of us will be even more conservative; find employment that promises wealth for later, with pensions, and health benefits. We trust these ideas, but these are “unfunded liabilities;” which means that unions, government heads, and businesses have promised us a prosperous retirement. Coming up with the money is their problem, not mine, right? That is another plan.
Lots of people won’t make it that far in life anyway; life is pretty fragile, but these are practical plans, and have nothing to do with faith–– in His care if us. They are ideas which may or may not work.
Some do better than others, there’s little fair about it, and we die alone, maybe while others watch. If that were the end, it totally stinks, and each of us will come to the end.
I have to ask myself, and you, because it is rare, if any do it, that we cast our care on Him.
How do we cast ALL our cares on Him? Does this not require greater faith than we can muster? Maybe we should pray all night, fast all day, and give all we have to the poor. Is there someone out there who is doing this? Casting ALL always? If so, they must be very proud. They are much greater than me. I cannot.
So, Buddy what’s the secret? The secret is to come to “HIM.”
‘It’s too easy,’ you say. But this is the rest: Listen.
Jesus said, “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls” (Matthew 11:29-29).
I find my rest. I lose my cares; when I come to Him.
Reader, let’s come unto Him. We may not leave with plans, but we will leave with peace and the guiding principal: the Comforter who comforts us.
We must and we may, “Come unto Him” anytime; any moment. When we feel our grip is weak––His is not.
Everything we read in the Bible, everything He did on earth, and His current preparation in heaven is for us, because he loves us.
There is no more a welcome place than Him. “Come unto me,” he’s saying.

Yes, in response to your article, we can only make the wisest decisions possible with our finances while on earth. Thank goodness we can leave our cares of this world with Him. since we can’t take anything with us to heaven. I sure am glad that the Lord will always give a Christian their daily allowance, as He says in Kings.
With my husband’s dementia, he believes we have had intruders at our house and now we have nothing left. He said to me the other night, “Oh well, at least we have each other and God.” I am glad he can have that peace in his soul with the way his mind is working nowadays. God is still providing contentment for us in spite of this nasty disease. I thank God for His intimate grace He gives to each of us.
