Where do you send your cares? There is a great answer to this question that is found in 1 Peter 5:7..."casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you."

We are to fling or throw all of our burdens, anxieties, and problems to the Lord. The word cast means to send, shoot, or throw.  We can shoot or throw - as arrows - all of our fears, troubles, and worries upon the Lord.

The word cast also gives a picture of extending or stretching out a hand to the poor.  It can also be a picture of sprouts or shoots as in Isaiah 16:8.  Therefore, it can be said of a good church: "her branches are stretched out, they are gone over the sea."
