God Does It Best

(From The Minister's Heart)


Let God do what He does best and that is taking care of us.  He tells us to cast our cares on Him because He first cared for us. His entire life: birth, death and resurrection was and still is based on taking care of His children, us. He gave His life on the cross so that we may have eternal life through Him.

He knew that He was going away to prepare a place -mansion -for us, and said, "He would not leave us comfortless. Telling us, our Father would give us another comforter, the Holy Ghost, who will teach us, and  bring back to our remembrance all the things He had told us, according to John 14."

He also charged Peter to care for us while He was gone. While talking to Simon Peter,  He asked Simon, son of Jonas, love thou me? Peter's replied once by saying yes Lord, you know I do.

Jesus said, "Feed my lambs. 

Jesus asked Peter the same question the second and third time, "Simon, son of Jonas, love thou me?"

The last time Peter said,  "Lord, you know all things, you know I love you."

Jesus said, "Feed my sheep, according to John 21:15-17."

***Not only did Jesus tell Peter to feed his sheep (adults), but also to take care of and feed His (lambs) children.


***When it seems as though we have had problems on top of problems, or gone through tragedy after tragedy, call on Jesus, a faithful helper in the time of need.



Isaiah 43:2-3

When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy saviour: I gave Egypt for thy ransom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee.

*** God told Israel, do not be afraid because you belong to me. Whatever you go through I am going to be with, and take care of you.  They were God's chosen people.

We are also chosen to be His people and to be taken care of because we are called by His name, Christians, as in Christ.



Lets continue to let God do His job by taking care of us and giving us the very best in life.


Until we meet again - soon.
