Entrust Your Worries to the Lord. Hear the Story. Do Not Be Self-centered.

1 Peter 5:6-7

Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Be humble before God and people. When the time comes, He will lift you up. When the time comes, you will be prosperous. Keep working hard, and when the time comes, the Lord will acknowledge your hard work, your struggles, and give you grace. You will reap the benefit and result. 

The highest level of love

Do you know how much God loves you? When people have a never-changing heart and do things with all their heart, will and life while loving, serving, and rejoicing in God, the joy of preaching the message is so great. In due time, God will give to you what you deserve and will repay you according to your actions. God can’t help but to give you things. God cannot endure holding back what you need to receive. God loves you so much that He cannot hold back His love, even if He doesn’t receive love from you.

When you get to the highest level of loving God and honoring God, you need to also serve Him. Then you become a person who serves others. Why? Because you can’t help but to love the people who follow you, so you restore your love upon those people and you serve them. “Serving” expressed another way is “love.” Serving God means you love God. Parents also have to serve. They have to feed the children, honor them, and respect them without looking at their authority and power. Parents serve, or love, their children. People who give love have more hope, and there’s more joy because they love. Serving is the greatest way to receive joy.

Now is a time when love happens in reality after fulfilling the creation of Heaven and Earth. What is the purpose of creating Heaven and Earth and human beings? It’s so that God can love human beings as much as possible and so that human beings can also know God and love Him as much as possible. It is to live like that on Earth, and then they can go to the spiritual world in the spirit and live like that forever. We know our purpose is not to buy land, or to make more money, or to gain fame. God is the one who has the power. Before God, we need to always give thanks; then even if you have sins, He will forgive you. It says in the Bible that God covers a multitude of sins for those who love Him (1 Peter 4:8).

In due time, you will be exalted. Humble yourselves before God. Arrogance is centering on yourself and having your own thoughts. You must go to God with dedication. Having self-centered thoughts is a more serious disease than physical diseases. May you be healed after listening to today’s word.

Do not be self-centered

You eat the fruit of your own actions. Therefore, don’t be evil. The main principle in life is people are repaid according to their actions and according to where their hearts are. You have to treat the world well, and you have to treat people well. Additionally, you should live a clean life and get rid of your sins by repenting and changing your actions.

Always take care of your health, and then you can run diligently. You need to manage yourself thoroughly. For example, you should refrain from eating certain kinds of unhealthy food in order to stay healthy. To manage your health you must be persistent, determined, and strong-minded.

By entrusting your worries to the Lord, you are entrusting them to God. He will fulfill things accordingly. He will help you. The faith of entrusting and the faith of believing are really important! The Lord can only be held responsible for the things entrusted to him.

What you say and what you do are actually different. People live their lives centered on themselves after saying they had entrusted their matters to the Lord. That is idolatry. People’s hearts change quickly because they are sensitive, compared to animals. God does things according to what has been given. Realize and live a life of entrusting things to God. The people who entrust to God gain and benefit a lot and become prosperous. If you don’t entrust, you will only suffer. After entrusting, do everything with God’s design through the Lord, discuss, and take action. Don’t worry and entrust your matters to God. And when the time comes, you will be lifted up.
