Cast all your cares on Him!

I Peter 5:7 "Cast all your anxiety on Him, because He cares for you.

I just did a word study on "Cast." It is only used one other place in the NT when the disciples "cast" their garments on the donkey for Jesus to ride into Jerusalem. We know from secular literature of the time that the word that Peter chose to use in this instance was the word you would use to shift or heave or throw a heavy burden onto a mule or donkey to carry for you! 

Amazing that the Lord of the Universe loves us so much and humbles himself that he would offer to be our "beast of burden." Yes, indeed! Toss that heavy burden onto the One who can bear it for you!
