Day By Day With Billy Graham / Cast Your Cares

Day By Day With Billy Graham

Day 230 of 366

Cast Your Cares

Some section hands on a British railroad found a thrush's nest under a rail. Peacefully sitting on her eggs, the hen was undisturbed by the roar of the fast trains above and around her. Someone has written a little verse which goes:

"Said the robin to the sparrow,
'I should really like to know,
Why these anxious human beings
Rush about and worry so.'
Said the sparrow to the robin,
'Friend, I think that it must be,
That they have no heavenly Father
Such as cares for you and me.'"

Jesus used the carefree attitude of the birds to underscore the fact that worrying is unnatural. I am learning in my own life, day by day, to keep my mind centered on Christ, and the worries and anxieties and concerns of the world pass, and nothing but "perfect peace" is left in the human heart. God has taken the responsibility for our care and worry.

Daily Prayer

Lord Jesus, I'm happiest when I'm fully trusting You. This day help me to be constantly grateful for Your care and faithfulness.

Matthew 6:26 NASB

26 Look at the birds of the air, that they do not sow, nor reap nor gather into barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not worth much more than they?
