It is so hard to stay Spiritually consistent. I have a choice to “Cast my Cares” on Jesus, or I can try and control them myself. When I do as Jesus tells me, keeping my eyes and mind focused on Him, He always shows me that He is in control.
When I meditate on these two verses—John 14: 27, and Colossians 2: 6-7, I am learning more and more how to stay Spiritually consistent in the peace Jesus offers me. If I allow my heart to be troubled and afraid, how can I have the peace He promises me? Jesus says: “DO NOT let your heart be troubled or afraid” So I am responsible for where I allow my mind to go in the troubles that will happen in this world. I want His peace deep in my soul.
His word tells me in Colossians 2: 6-7 “Just as you received Christ as Lord, CONTINUE to live in Him, ROOTED and BUILT up in Him.” I know I am rooted in Him, but He is working on the building up part of me in Him. Even when I can’t see the working of His hands, I know that He is holding it all.
Life happens, and all the pains that come along with it. But Jesus is there, promising peace, if we keep our eyes and faith on what we know and believe. Everything that we go through has eternal purposes.
So when fears feel bigger than my faith, and struggles steal my breath away, I know Jesus is strong enough to hold it all. He is the only One in control.
So I will cast my cares on Him. He, Who is the Anchor of my soul.
