1 Peter 5:7
Casting all your worries on him, because he cares for you.
This verse comes in the context of St.Peter's exhortation to the elders of the church to shepherd the flock of God that is under their care (1 Peter 5:2). St.Peter urges the elders to serve as examples to the congregation and to be humble and submissive to one another (1 Peter 5:3-5).
In verse 6, St.Peter says, "Humble yourselves, therefore, under God's mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time." St.Peter is encouraging the believers to submit to God and trust in his timing and provision. He reminds them that God is powerful and will ultimately lift them up.
Then in verse 7, St.Peter tell goes on to tell the believers to cast all their anxiety or worries on God. This command is based on the previous verses, which emphasize the importance of humility and submission to God. By casting their worries on God, the believers are acknowledging their dependence on him and their trust in his care and provision. St.Peter assures them that God cares for them and is ready to bear their burdens.
1 Peter 5:7 is an encouragement to trust in God and to submit to his care and provision. It is a call to cast all our worries and anxieties on him and to recognize his loving care for us. This verse reminds us that God is always present and willing to help us, and we can find peace and rest in him.
