Cast Your Worries Upon GodBecause He Cares For You.

I started a month's study on this verse, 1 Peter 5:7, last night in my Wednesday Night children's class at church. I have ages 2 through 11. I never thought it would be as attention getting as it did last night! My little fellers just listened and were astonished to know it was a sin to worry. I had to explain to them how the worry became a sin when we dwell on it and don't continually give it back to God. They thought it was funny when I first explained to them when something came to my mind to worry about I would tell God I wanted to give it to him and I knew God was in control. Then in a few minutes, I'd have to say God, it's me again, and I need to give this back to you again. Then again and again but that was how we were strengthened by giving it back to God each and every time. This sort of turned an light bulb on in their heads. They really did realize last night that it was okay to tell God we wanted to give our worry to Him and let Him take care of it. Then... this morning when I was taking my grand-children to school, my Grandson told me he really like the class last night. He said there was a lot in that verse he had to learn. He is nine years old. Isn't that awesome? These children are learning and realizing what most of us don't realize until we are up in years.
