CARES FOR YOU
BREAD
7 Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.
1
Peter 5:7 (NIV)
22 Cast your cares on the LORD
and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. Psalm
55:22 (NIV)
25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will
eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more important
than food, and the body more important than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the
air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly
Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Who of
you by worrying can add a single hour to his life? 28 And why do you
worry about clothes? See how the lilies of the field grow. They do not labor or
spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendor was
dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is
here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe
you, O you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall
we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly
Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all
these things will be given to you as well. 34
Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for
tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew 6:25-34 (NIV)
26 “There is no one like the God of Jeshurun, who rides on the heavens to help you and on the clouds in his majesty. 27 The eternal God is your refuge, and underneath are the everlasting arms. He will drive out your enemy before you, saying, ‘Destroy him!’” Deuteronomy 33:26-27 (NIV)

9 The
LORD is a refuge for the
oppressed, a stronghold in times of trouble. 10 Those
who know your name will trust in you, for you, LORD,
have never forsaken those who seek you. Psalm 9:9-10
(NIV)
16 “For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son,
that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.” John 3:16 (NIV)
6 You
see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the
ungodly.
7 Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous man, though for a good man someone might possibly dare to die. 8 But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Romans 5:6-8 (NIV)
31 What, then, shall we say in response to this? If God is for us, who can be against us? 32 He who did not spare his own Son, but gave him up for us all--how will he not also, along with him, graciously give us all things? 33 Who will bring any charge against those whom God has chosen? It is God who justifies. 34 Who is he that condemns? Christ Jesus, who died--more than that, who was raised to life--is at the right hand of God and is also interceding for us. 35 Who shall separate us from the love of Christ? Shall trouble or hardship or persecution or famine or nakedness or danger or sword? 36 As it is written: “For your sake we face death all day long; we are considered as sheep to be slaughtered.” 37 No, in all these things we are more than conquerors through him who loved us. 38 For I am convinced that neither death nor life, neither angels nor demons, neither the present nor the future, nor any powers, 39 neither height nor depth, nor anything else in all creation, will be able to separate us from the love of God that is in Christ Jesus our Lord. Romans 8:31-39 (NIV)

“‘The
supreme happiness of life,’ Victor Hugo said, ‘is the conviction that we are
loved’…. Unfortunately, many people go through life feeling unloved – and
unlovable…No matter the reason, your feelings aren’t telling you the
truth! God loves you, and if you begin
to see yourself the way God sees you, your attitudes will begin to change. If He didn’t love you, would Christ have been
willing to die for you? But He did! The Bible says, ‘By this we know love,
because He laid down His life for us’ (1 John 3:16). God loves you. Hammer that truth into your head and mind
every day. It will make all the
difference.” Billy Graham
“The
fact of Jesus’ coming is the final and unanswerable proof that God cares.” William
Barclay
“God, the eternal God, is our support at all times,
especially when we are sinking into deep trouble. There are seasons when we sink quite low…Dear
child of God, even when you are at your lowest, underneath are the everlasting
arms.” Charles H. Spurgeon
“Our
strength is discovered in our dependency upon the One Who spoke the world into
being and Who loves us with an everlasting love. It is His all sufficient power and not our
weak strength we are to lean upon. The
horse is made ready for battle but victory rests with the Lord.” BHY
“‘He is my refuge and my fortress’ (Psalm 91:2). A refuge is a place safely out of harm’s
way. A fortress is a fortified building
that is virtually impenetrable by conventional means. Martin Luther wrote a wonderful hymn that
says, ‘A mighty fortress is our God; a bulwark never failing. Our helper He amidst the flood; of mortal
ills prevailing.’ What a statement about
the magnificent power and protection of God!
Does God care for you and me? Can
we turn to Him in trust and faith when troubles and temptations threaten to
overwhelm us? Yes – a thousand times
yes! What greater proof do we need than
that He sent His Son, Jesus Christ, to die in our place?” Billy Graham
“Savior like a shepherd lead us; much we need Thy tender care.” Dorothy
A. Thrupp
“God never strikes except for motives of love, and never takes
away but in order to give.” Francois Fenelon
“However devoted you are to God, you may be sure that He is
immeasurably more devoted to you.” Meister
Eckhart
“When we
have exhausted our store of endurance, When our strength has failed ere the day
is half done, When we reach the end of our hoarded resources, Our Father’s full
giving is only begun. His love has no
limit; His grace has no measure. His
pow’r has no boundary known unto men; For out of His infinite riches in Jesus,
He giveth, and giveth, and giveth again!”
Annie Johnson
“Everything
comes from love….God does nothing without this goal in mind.” Catherine of Siena
“We can wait in eager expectation rather
than wringing our hands in worry as God has promised to cause all things to
work together for our good and we can trust Him in any and every
circumstance. He is ever faithful to His
promises and loving towards all He has made.
He loves us with an everlasting love and His eye is ever on us. He was faithful in the past, He is faithful
today and He will be faithful tomorrow.
What a gracious and loving God we serve. BHY
