Commit your life to Elohim. Our lives are full of worries. From the time we come into this world till our death we worry about something or the other. With worry we become sorrowful. Commit yourself to him. (2Tim.1:12) Paul had committed his life and soul to Elohim. Paul gave Yahshua his life, and knew Yahshua was fully able to keep it! Paul knew he could not keep his own life; he knew that only Elohim could keep it. Elohim was able; Paul was not. Knowing this made Paul full of boldness, but it wasn’t boldness in self, but in Elohim! Paul had committed everything to Yahshua - his life, his body, his character and reputation, his life’s work, everything that was precious. During his ministry, Paul encountered many dangers and difficulties. (2Co 11:23 Are they ministers of Messiah? (I speak as a fool) I am more; in labours more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent, in deaths oft.) But he knew that the angel of the Lord encamped around him and he had nothing to worry. He committed everything to Yahshua till the day Paul would see Yahshua; either by Yahshua coming for Paul or by Paul going to Yahshua. The apostles lived in such awareness of that day, they did not even need to identify it. “That Day” was enough. Commit your ways to Him. (Ps.37:5) ‘Way’ means the course of life or the manner in which one lives. Many of us have the mistaken idea that we know what is best for ourselves. The Bible clearly tells us not to trust in our worldly wisdom. Commit your works to Him. Commit thy works unto the LORD, and thy thoughts shall be established (Pro 16:3). When the Lord controls the workers, there will be no clashes. See that whatever you do begins, continues and ends in his name. Cast all care on him and depend on his providence or grace for supply, support and maintenance. Cast on him whatever you have to do. As a child opens its heart to the father, show Elohim our hearts desires and intentions, trusting always in his care. We should cast on Elohim all matters which burden us, and cause us great anxiety, for nothing is too heavy or too hard for Him. Then our thoughts about the future of our duty and our life-course will be happy, Commit your burden on Him. Cast thy burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain thee: he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved. (Psa 55:22). The ‘burden’ mentioned here is rendered as ‘gift’ in the margin of the Authorized Version (KJV). Some versions translate this verse as ”Cast on Jehovah what He has given, and He will keep you; He will not give the righteous to waver, forever“. Acknowledge whatever he has given us by his grace and ask for continuation of his mercies. Along with these, we should cast all our cares and troubles on him and he will bear us and our troubles. “Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.” (1Pet. 5:7) Yahweh is concerned with what interests us. Whatever concerns you, spiritual or worldly, he is concerned. He is concerned about your troubles and welfare. He is not like the pagan gods who have no concern about creation, who are supposed to be so great that they can never hear the cry of man. Our Elohim, the only true Elohim, concerns himself about the work of his hands. We are of more value than a sparrow which cannot fall unless Elohim wills! (Matt.10:29-31) What a mighty Elohim we serve! The Elohim of the Bible - the Elohim who is really there - is Elohim who cares for you. |
