Years ago I knew a strong sister in Christ that had
a simple but effective way to deal with problems
she was going through.
On her kitchen bulletin board, she pinned up a
small brown paper bag, and on it it simply said
'THE GOD BAG'
Curious I asked her “What’s that for?”
and she said
“Whenever I have a problem, I write it down on a
piece of paper, throw it into THE GOD BAG
and say to myself and to the Lord,
'OK Lord, that problem is yours!
And I know you’ll provide a means
or way to solve it!'”
As today’s scripture reminds us, we
need to cast (i.e. place) all our cares upon the Lord,
and not carry them alone because He indeed does care
for us!
While life can be really hard at times, the Bible says
that Christ will stand by our side and help as we plow
along the field of life (Matthew 11:29)
as He also said:
“Take therefore no thought for the morrow:
for the morrow shall take thought
for the things of itself.
Sufficient unto the day is
the evil thereof.”
Matthew 6:34
Friend, when you need assistance,
don’t go it alone.
Cast your problem into THE GOD BAG!
