I'm reminded of an insurance commercial that serves the public notice that all of their insurance needs are better off in "their hands!" Better in their hands than any other insurance company! That's a pretty bold statement! However, many have found faith in that company's confidence in its ability to provide what is best for them.
If only we had that kind of confidence in our Savior. We have seen Him do the impossible; we have proof of his track record, but we still have trouble trusting him fully!
In Luke 5, Jesus tells Simon to cast his net into the sea, after he had complained of being unable to catch any fish that day. Notice that Jesus gives him a directive. "Cast your net!" What Jesus was telling him was, "trust me with it!" "It becomes a different net when it's in my hands!"
My Pastor often says that a thing in the hands of Jesus becomes a different "thing!"
But casting our nets,or our cares, is not an easy thing because it requires us to let go of something! It requires that we put our cares in someone else's hands!
Decide today that you will "cast your net" into the sea. Into the hands of Jesus. No one can guarantee you full insurance and assurance, the way that the Master can!
