Cast All Your Cares
January 24, 2025
1 Peter 5:7 Throw all your worry on Him because He cares for you.
1 Peter 5:8 Be clear-minded and alert. Your opponent, the devil, is prowling around like a roaring lion, looking for someone to devour.
Cast All Your Care
Burdensome personal cares, family cares, cares for the present, and cares for the future, for yourselves for others, for the church, on God. When these cares arise from unbelief and distrust, they torture and distract the mind, and hinder our joy in the service of God. The remedy is to cast our care upon God and leave every event to His wise and gracious character. Firm belief that the Divine will and counsels are right, will calm your anxious mind.
Humbly rely on God and lay your cares of provision upon His wisdom and love.
Be sober. Maintain self-control in both your outward and the inward person.
Be vigilant and suspicious of constant danger from this spiritual enemy.
Be watchful and diligent to prevent his tactics.
Be steadfast, or solid, by faith, which lifts the soul to the firm ground of His promises and fixes it there.
