A Branch in the Vine

I am the vine; you are the branches. If you abide in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit. Apart from me you can do nothing.

Findings in the Files: Cares and Confidence

August 22, 2012/ jan

My thanks to my friend Durinda, who slipped me this little treasure when we were studying the letter to the Hebrews...many years ago!

It is God's will that I should castOn Him my care each day;He also bids me not to castMy confidence away.

But oh, I am so foolishThat when taken unawares,I cast away my confidenceAnd carry all my cares. T. Baird

...casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. 1 Peter 5:7 NKJV

Cast your cares on the LORD and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous fall. Psalm 55:22 NIV

Therefore do not cast away your confidence, which has great reward. Hebrews 10:35 NKJV
