Day 35: Cast Our Cares To God
“Now brother will deliver up brother to death, and a father his child; and children will rise up against parents and cause them to be put to death. And you will be hated by all for My name’s sake. But he who endures to the end will be saved. When they persecute you in this city, flee to another. For assuredly, I say to you, you will not have gone through the cities of Israel before the Son of Man comes. “A disciple is not above his teacher, nor a servant above his master. It is enough for a disciple that he be like his teacher, and a servant like his master. If they have called the master of the house Beelzebub, how much more will they call those of his household! Therefore do not fear them. For there is nothing covered that will not be revealed, and hidden that will not be known.
Matthew 10:21-26 NKJV

I am sure we heard of how persecutions occurred internally and externally. But, the sad part is when it happens internally amongst family members and relatives or amongst spiritual family members (i.e. amongst Christians themselves). In fact, Apostle Paul said in Galatians 6:10 that "as we have opportunity, let us do good to all, especially to those who are of the household of faith." As Christians, we should bless and assist our brothers and sisters in Christ whenever there is opportunity. However, if the contrary happens, we leave it to God to judge as verse 26 says, "for there is nothing that will not be revealed and hidden that will not be known". God knows what actually transpires and He will reward and repay accordingly in His time. We do not need to be anxious. Cast your cares on the LORD and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous be shaken (Psalm 55:22). https://twitter.com/EstherOngHC (please click to view a visual)
