You were Created to Worship

Devotional Reading: casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 ESV

An indicator that the cares of this world has magnified itself in your life is through what can be called “weight tests”. In 1 Peter 5:7 KJV, the Bible commands us to, “cast our care upon Christ”. A “care” is a concern, weight or something that’s burdening or consuming your time or thoughts. A “care”, becomes an “idol” when you assign its weight or its importance on an equal plane with God. When you begin to believe that your care, concern or desire is too big for God to handle, that “thing”, person or position has now become a god.

Many times as our desires occupy our day, our “heart care”, or the grooming and the conditioning of our hearts may unintentionally take the back seat. This can cause our spiritual growth and development to haphazardly get slow instead of catapulting into an unprecedented stratosphere. Growth is intentional. In fact, when you begin to shift your focus in order to please everyone and everything else, instead of seeking and pleasing God, even a God-given, good “thing”, can become an idol.

But, when you allow God be your only focus, He settles every of your cares that may become an idol. When you honor God and ask him to align your ways, thoughts, plans, actions, and desires with His, He will order your steps, guide your path and cause you to flourish and succeed. “Roll your works upon the Lord [commit and trust them wholly to Him; He will cause your thoughts to become agreeable to His will, and] so shall your plans be established and succeed.” Proverbs 16:3 AMPC

Know this, there is nothing that can fill a God sized void. Your heart was created to worship God. So redirect your Worship and surrender to Christ — only He can completely satisfy you.

Prayer and Confession
Father, I yield my heart to you, I confess that from now you become my only focus and that every of my plans are considered from the lenses of your Spirit. Amen!
