“Humble yourself under the mighty hand of God, that you may be exalted in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” 1 Peter 5:6,7
In other words, be fully dependent on God so that you may be uplifted in due time, having thrown all your care, worry, and anxiety upon Him, for He cares about you.
Lots of things get put away every day, such as socks in the second drawer of my dresser, the make-up tray in the bottom shelf of the bathroom cabinet, the juicer in the cabinet above the sink, cooking utensils in the red ceramic utensil bucket next to the stove, keys in the front pocket of my purse, graded papers in the out basket. All these things have their place. It’s the place they belong. The place that makes sense as far as what each item is.
I don’t hem and haw in my mind when I put those and so many other day to day items away. They just have their logical place and I don’t have to waste a minute of my life agonizing over where I should put them.
I need to be just like that with my cares and worries and things that make me anxious. As soon as one pops up, I need to put it away in the place it belongs rather than fret over what should be done about it. Instead of getting all mentally and emotionally tripped up, I need to straighten up my mind just like I straighten up my kitchen and bathroom and classroom in order to avoid clutter and confusion and wasted time looking for misplaced items. I need to give all my worries and things that cause anxiety over to His care because that is right where they belong.
