Verse: “Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.”
Devotion: Motivation matters. Many times, people’s behavior presents as an act of kindness, only later to realize it was an exchange of benefits . Quid pro quo, if you will. That is never more prevalent than during election season. This season is filled with promises of things that politicians will do to help us, but really all they want is our vote. Jesus says that he will take every one of burdens. He will replace our heavy yoke with one that is easy and light. And what’s his motivation? He cares for you. You matter to the Creator of the universe. Yes, we need to cast a vote in November, but when it comes to our worries—let’s cast those upon someone who truly cares, Jesus.
Prayer: Jesus, today we lay all our burdens down at your feet. We come to you to exchange our garment of heaviness for a garment of praise. Only you can lift our burdens, so we approach you with confidence, knowing that your kindness and faithfulness is motivated by love. Amen
