CAST - Jan. 28th, 2008

Someone asked me yesterday if I liked to fish. I LOVE to fish. You see, I lived on Lake Fork for many years and had daily access to one of the best bass fishing lakes in the nation. With each cast, the potential of a record setting bass choosing your lure was always there. The "lure" of "mama bucket mouth" taking my lure keeps me coming back. With each cast, the possibility of a "wall hanger" increases.
Now that I live down south, I am not able to experience that anticipation nearly as much. I do continue to cast though. 1 Peter 5:7 encourages me to be involved with "casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you." With this type of casting the rolls are reversed. We are not endeavoring to catch something but release something.
Our worries.
Our fears.
Our doubts.
Our troubles.
Our heartbreaks.
Our losses.
Our anger.
Our cares...anything that is unnecessarily weighing us down. We can cast it down at the feet of Jesus and He will take care of it for us. He cares for us! As any good father would do, He will do everything in His power to relieve us of the unnecessary "weights and sins which so easily entangle us". He has the power and authority to deal with it all.
Keep casting.

Wanna meet me hear in the morning?
