Eureka!!

Thank the Lord! One Saturday out of my life that i didn't have to be in Chick-Fil-A past 6 o'clock! But then when I got home.... boredom sets in. You see, come to think of it, having to close at work actually gives me something to do... even though i'm happy when i get the chance to leave the place early. Ironic I know. So after playing some Madden 10... which i LOVE... i decided - thanks to some help from one of my friends - to pick up a book and read. The book i read is called "Battling Unbelief" by a man named John Piper. This isn't an ordinary book by any means. This man is gifted with such intelligence i'm suprised he even understands what he's talking about. While reading i came across one particular passage of scripture:
"Cast all your anxieties on him because, he cares for you." 1 Peter 5:7

.... and then it hit me... well, God hit me. I know i've heard this at least 1,000 times... i don't know about you. It's basically saying give God all your worries, baggage, pain, whatever you want to call it, because he cares for you..... i don't know if you caught what i caught.... HE CARES FOR YOU. Which means stop "laying" down all your stuggles (and i put laying in quotes for a reason... sarcasm) and LAY down all your struggles. Don't get me wrong, i'm in the exact same boat... but God really spoke to me when i read this.
God: Hunter... stop bullcrapping around and let Me, the God who breathed you into existance, handle your struggles. Because i don't know if you realize it.... but I CAN HANDLE THEM.
Hunter: nah man, i'm okay right now... thanks though....
?!?!?!?!?!
I know! i want to punch me in the face too!!! But in all reality, we do it all the time. I'm not saying this is anybody in particular, PROMISE. Just saying that i do it and that not everyone is perfect. But for me... i lie to God... i'll say it again... i LIE to God. Which is pretty much looking at God and saying "no man, you're not good enough to handle my struggles even though you did put them in front of me."

God really just said to me tonight:
God: Look Hunter, i know that you lie to me, think you can outsmart me (which I do find very entertaining) (God has a humor.... just saying), but man, I care about you so much that I am ABLE to handle everything that is going on in your life... remember, I already did once on the Cross.

Did you guys catch that too? Just in case you didn't, i'll say it. God already handled all our struggles, pains, baggage... YOU NAME IT... on the Cross around 2000 years ago... when we weren't even in existance yet!

So if He already did it, why can't He do it again?
