BIBLE PASSAGE: 1 Peter 5:6-9
6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time:
7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:
9 Whom resist steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
Meditation: 1 Peter 5:7
You can throw the whole weight of your anxieties upon Him, for you are His personal concern.
THE MESSAGE
When God wants to work miracles in your life, He requires you to be at peace. Whatever is making your heart beat aster, whatever is making you afraid of a particular day ahead, whatever is making you lose sleep will let go of you today by divine intervention right now. Trust Jehovah El-Shaddai to take care of what He has promised to take care of. Ask the Lord to reveal the depth of His great love for you personally. God wants you to know that you were never meant to handle everything on your own.
This understanding builds up your faith in God. He says, Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth, Psalm 46:10, The choice to be still is a battle. There are things in your life that you want to control. You want to make your own rules. But stress relief always starts with letting God be God. His power manifests when you surrender to Him and give Him the reins. That is the only time He can fully exercise His power over your life and move things in your favour.
