Psalm 55:22
Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous fail.
Oh man, I love the Word of God! I love how It is so full of rich promises that fill your heart with faith and put your mind at ease! The Word of God is meant to bring life (2 Corinthians 3:6), so if a passage of Scripture doesn't bring life to your soul, then ask Holy Spirit to reveal it's life-giving Truth hidden in that passage, and if you still don't get anything, then leave it for another time until Holy Spirit does reveal the passage's life-giving power.
That's why I love this verse right here. Amidst all of David's complaints and groans about his enemies and their successes, he gets this revelation that God will never let the righteous fail. That is a powerful and exciting revelation! You my friend, as a righteous person, cannot fail.
We should all know by now that we have been made righteous by the sacrifice of Jesus (Hebrews 10:10). and thus by His sacrifice we are declared by God Himself to be 100% righteous! And that means, according to this verse, you cannot fail!
Now, it would seem that there is a condition to a righteous person not failing. That's the way it seems. But I don't think this verse is saying that. I think David is saying "stop worrying, because God will never let a righteous person fail!" David is saying we, as children of God, shouldn't be worried, because we can't fail!
It's not a case of casting our cares on God in order to not fail. Instead we won't fail therefore we may as well cast our cares on God! There is no reason to have cares or worries if we can't fail!
Most of us have some kind of worry we face each and every day. Some have more cares than others. Some, by their genetic make-up, tend to worry more than others. But God is a loving Father who doesn't want us to be weighed down by these worries, and instead offers to carry them for us.
Worry and anxiety can consume us. They can take over our emotions and so easily drain our energy. Our loving Father wants us to hand these worries to Him, and in their place He will give us sustaining Life. When we hand our worries to Him, instead of having our energy drained we find that our energy rises.
Friends, today hand all your worry and anxiety over to Him. He will look after you. He will provide for you. He will protect you. And because you are a child of the Most High God, you cannot fail. There truly is nothing to worry about when our trust is in our Father!
I have written this prayer in the first-person, in order to make it personal to you:
Father, than You for Your Word that so clearly says that if I cast my cares upon You, You will sustain me. Today, I ask that You would help me do that. It's not easy to let go of all these worries, but I want to. I place them into Your hands today. Please sustain me. Replace this worry with joy and peace. I want to trust You with everything that I am. I want to believe that as Your child, I cannot fail. Please give me a revelation of this Truth! Thank You so much, Dad! Thank You for how much You Love me. I am overwhelmed when I even think about it, may You make it more and more real to me each and every day.
Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous fail.
