Four Little Words

1 Peter 5:6-7
Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God, so that He may exalt you at the proper time, casting all your care on Him, because He cares about you.

I love these two verses.  Well, I love most of these two verses. There are four little words that trip me up all the time!

At. The. Proper. Time!

Some versions say in the due time. I don’t care how you say it.  It still means I have to be patient and that is NOT easy! 

But I am getting better at it because I have learned the value of verse 7.  Casting all my cares on him.  One of my cares is I can’t wait.  Sometimes it is because I am so excited and other times it is because I am frightened.  Either way, I am like a kid waiting for Santa to place those gifts under my tree so I can open them up right now!

Do you know something awesome?  God already knows this about me and he loves me just where I am.  He knows I get anxious and he gently guides me through waiting spots in my life. I know I can always cast any cares on him and leave them there with him and he will take care of them because he cares about me.
