You are mine [July 21, 2022 ]

You are mine
Isaiah 43:1
But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, Oh Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name,You are mine.

Humans love and appreciate what they have worked hard for because we are created in the image of God.

God sacrificed so much to redeem us from the power of sin and set us free. Therefore, He loves to boast about us, You are mine. An example is given in Job 1:8

And the Lord said unto Satan hast thou considered my servant job, that there is none like him in the earth, a perfect and an upright man, one that feared God, and escheweth evil?

God was so proud of Job and confident in his faithfulness that he allowed Satan to test him intensely.

He did not disappoint God. Can God trust you to remain His no matter what comes your way?

1 Peter 5:7
Cast all your cares on Him, for He cares for you.

Even in times when you are being tested, God still cares all about you therefore cast all your cares ( challenges, troubles etc) on Him
God be with you

How can I apply the word to my life?
1. Remain faithful to God no matter what happens in your life. He can turn your mourning into dancing.

Prayer
Meditate on the words of this song

Cast your burdens unto Jesus
For He cares for you
Take your troubles to King Jesus
There is rest for you
If you knew Him better
You will praise Him louder
You will love better
You will lift Him higher
Higher, higher
Higher lift King Jesus higher
Higher, higher
Higher lift King Jesus higher
Amen
