God On The Mountain

Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 Lynda Randle sings a song "God On The Mountain". I like that song. Where do you turn when things go wrong. Pastor was talking about the many friends on Face Book, how many of them can you call when you have a need. I remember what a former Pastor said to me one day when I told him about a troubling day at work. I went to find someplace where I could be alone and call out to God, in that case it was a stall in the bathroom. This Pastor said: did you see what you did, you ran to God. In the middle of that particular trouble, I ran to God. I don't remember what I was so hurt about that day, but I remember his words. You ran to God. Yes sometimes it feels good to be in church and worship with other saints, singing praises to God. But do we only go to him in good times? What about when things go wrong? The God on the Mountain is still God in the Valley. So many times we face hurts from those we love, our family, our children, on the job, in the neighborhood. Do we cast all our cares or anxieties on God? We can't change a child's heart or other family member, but God can. I think of what we are seeing in North Korea, with Kim Jong Un, The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the LORD; he turns it wherever he will. Proverbs 21:1 Even the godless do God's bidding when God directs it. I am not worried about Trump's actions. If it isn't directed by God it will end soon enough. If for some reason, God is using him and put him there in that office for who knows what purpose, you fight against God and God wins. I am not worried about what Obama or Trump or Hillary or any other political figure does, they are still under God and can go only as far as God allows. When you have sinned against God in your personal life, has God stuck you down immediately. We would all be in trouble if he did. God cares for you and many times he has taken extreme measures to love me back into his care. Some trust in chariots and some in horses, but we trust in the name of the LORD our God. Proverbs 20:7  When things go wrong, who do you run to? God asks us to come to him. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you. God bless, LVZ.
