God wants you to go fishing. Did you know that? Listen to what he says: “Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken” (Psalm 55:22).
Cast. That sounds a lot like fishing, doesn’t it? “Cast your cares on the LORD.” Just like you cast out your hook and bobber as far as you can into the lake or river, cast your cares on the LORD. Throw them on God! He can handle them. He will sustain you. He will never let the righteous be shaken.
But when you’re fishing, you don’t just cast one time, right? The hook and bobber eventually get reeled in right back to you. So what do you need to do? Cast them out again. Over and over and over again.
Isn’t this a Christian’s life? You cast your cares on Jesus and trust in his grace. You feel peace and confidence in your heart. But, little by little, those cares come back and fill your heart again. So what do you need to do? Cast your cares right back on Jesus. Again and again. Like the waters of the lake, his forgiveness never ends. His love never fades. His grace never runs out.
So let’s go fishing. Oh, worried heart, “cast your cares on the LORD.” Then, tomorrow, “cast your cares on the LORD.” Then, the next day, “cast your cares on the LORD.” He will sustain you! Let’s go fishing.
