CASTING ALL YOUR CARES UPON HIM

One early morning Jesus was standing on the shore watching His friends, Peter, Thomas, Nathaniel, the Sons of Zebedee, and two other disciples fish from a small boat. He saw that they had been out all night and had caught nothing. He got their attention and told them to cast their nets on the right side of the boat. The apostles had been fishing on the left side of the boat and their nets were empty. Jesus' power comes from the right hand of God, which is His place in heaven. The apostles then cast their nets on the right side of boat. When they drew in their nets they had caught so many fish that the nets began to tear. They had listened to the Lord of Sea and had been blessed in abundance. Is that all it takes? To listen and obey the masters voice? "Yes"! In Peter's writings (1 Peter 5:7) he tells us to cast our cares upon Him for He cares for us. Peter was fisherman. He knows by experience that if we cast our cares, worries, desires, and plans on Jesus (the true sea of blessings) that our nets will be filled to overflowing. A seine is also a net used to catch fish. I am truly a "seiner man" when I cast my cares upon him.
