Hang On To Your Spinning World!

 

[Graphic of a sign]


“Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand…”
—1 Peter 5:6

Is your world spinning so fast that you can barely hang on? Do you feel so assailed by the cares of the world that you feel squeezed on all sides?

If so, I have good news for you: God willingly waits for you to surrender your cares and cast them at the feet of Jesus. God does not expect you to carry your burdens alone.

The Holy Spirit will gladly ease your burden by taking the weight off your shoulders. Just as Jesus bore your sins on the cross, so He will lovingly take whatever is wearing you down and carry that burden in your behalf.

As the Apostle Peter instructs believers in 1 Peter 5:6-7:

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

The gospel song writer has confirmed this good news:

All your anxiety,
All your cares,
Bring to the Mercy Seat,
Leave it there.
Never a burden
He cannot bear.
Never a friend
Like Jesus.

Here'’s a thoughtful version of this song:
