--CAST ALL YOUR CARES ON YAHWEH ~~
-"Cast all your anxiety on [God] YHWH because He cares for you." ---[1 Peter 5:7/ NIV~]-- 
--"LORD G-D, grant us the courage to trust you with all our worries and fears. Help us, Lord, to never be ashamed of You and Your Word. In Jesus Name~amen"
---A retired homebuilder and cabinet maker, my brother Lee maintained a carpentry shop in his backyard and continued to work there after being diagnosed with terminal cancer. For years he had made unique items for community groups to sell at fund-raising events. One of his most popular crafts was a small box made of beautiful cherry wood with a brass plate on top reading "God Box" and a note inside instructing the recipient to put all their worries and cares in the 'God Box' and leave them there. Jehovah Yahweh, our loving, covenant-keeping God will supply all our needs [Philippians 4:19]. While the concept of a "God Box" did not originate with Lee, he made a ministry of building his version and giving away hundreds of boxes. In the weeks before his death, he made more than a dozen boxes and put them out for family and friends to take. On the day he passed [to heaven], he asked that one be given to his hospice nurse and the Chaplain who came to visit. "This gift will be the focus of my Sunday sermon," the Chaplain said. During his final hours, a sweet peaceful serenity washed over Lee as his family kept vigil at his bedside. Lifelong friends came to say, 'Goodbye, We love you, We will see you again soon.' As word came that Lee had quietly slipped away, they left with tears in their eyes and--for those who did not already have one--a 'God Box' in their hands. ~~--UPPER ROOM/LSA- -"Yahweh" [LORD]/ (Live)/ lyrics /Elevation Worship< https://youtu.be/EVCIvo3ZGRU> ~~~~~
Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through Me." [John 14:6]
