“IT IS FINISHED!”

Me-Maw Thoughts

Number 782

April 7, 2026///

Resurrection Sunday was two days ago!

My Thoughts today center on the question:

If Jesus Tomb is Empty, if His last words on the cross were
“It is finished,” meaning completed, nothing left undone, why is it so hard for us to “Cast all our care on Him because He cares for us”?

I know we understand Jesus Loves us! We confess He wants to Bless us Abundantly, and then we try to carry our own load!

I think God must look at Jesus and say: “If they only knew that all they need is to just give the problems and situations to us and we can make all things beautiful in their lives”!

We are created with free will. We can choose what we wear, what we eat, and what we believe, and what we do. Therefore, when it comes to worry or trust, that free will makes us want to do it ourselves.

This reminds me of a toddler who wants to open a toy or box themself. They try and try with a loving parent saying let me do it! But the independent nature says, “I want to do it myself”!

Or the child who had a broken truck, standing and begging the dad to fix it but will not let it go. The loving father is saying, “Give it to me and I will fix it”!

Our Loving Heavenly Father is saying to us this morning, “Release it to me and I will work it out for your good and my Glory”!

So why is that so difficult? Because the enemy of all that is good, the devil, invades our minds with all the outcomes for the problems and situations we are in and what we need to do, and we get caught up in that.

May, I suggest if that is the path you are walking, stop, voice that you are releasing (and name it), to His Lordship, and say it until you feel it. Then listen to the impression deep inside that will tell you what you need to do, if anything, and then rest in Him and the Power of His might!

Do we believe we are wiser and more capable than the Creator of the Universe? The one who said, “Light Be,” and there was light? The one who knows the number of stars and calls them by name? The one who feeds the sparrow and takes care of the lilies of the field? The one who knows us better than we know ourselves and knows our name and has an amazing plan for each of us?

Let’s be real! We cannot move a Mountain or cause the sun and moon to shine and we cannot cause the heart to gain new life when we believe in the price paid on the cross!

So why in the name of all that is truth, do we think we can handle our lives better than the LORD GOD ALMIGHTY CAN!!

He wants us to rest in him, to let Him lift our load and give us Joy and Peace that cannot be bought!

And yet we continue to struggle to do it ourselves!!

May we get real with the Lord and acknowledge who He is and trust Him every day, in every way!!

Why should we worry and why should we fret, God has never left us yet! Praise the Lord! We do not have to do life alone!

I pray you grasp that truth on this day! You are not meant to walk alone! Hold to God’s unchanging hand. Let Him wrap His blanket of Love all around you!

Proverbs 3:5–6 (KJV) ⁵Trust in the Lord with all thine heart;

And lean not unto thine own understanding.

⁶In all thy ways acknowledge him,

And he shall direct thy paths.
