Reading – 1 Peter 5

Highlight Verse:

“Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you.”
‭‭1 Peter‬ ‭5‬:‭7‬ ‭NLT‬‬

I’ve often heard this verse used flippantly.

It’s sometimes used as the “Don’t worry, be happy” verse of the Bible.

This chapter, however, is full of tough commands.

Care for the flock, be humble, stay alert, watch out for the devil. Oh yes, and you’ll suffer.

Add to that the toughest command, cast your cares to God.

It’s not a promise that life will be happy and carefree.

It is a promise that God will carry you through it.

Is it harder for you to “Watch out” or to “give your worries and cares to God?”
Can we pray for you and each other as we all do the tough job of giving our worries to God?
