Goodday fellow steemians, How are you?Isn't it wonderful that we have a Savior that cares for us! 1Peter 5:7 'casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you. As Peter is writing this, the Christians were suffering severe persecution, so these words were of great encouragement. The word 'care'
here means 'anxiety' or 'worry'.
When difficult times come our way it is so easy to worry or be anxious isn't it. But listen to the words Peter is saying here. “Casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.” We know that “care” means anxiety or worry but notice it says “all” your anxiety or worries. Now the word “all” in the Greek text has the idea, not of every worry that comes along, but the whole of their worries. In other words we are to give the whole of our cares our anxiety our worry to God. Think about having a cold; with a cold you may have a cough, a fever, congestion, sore throat, and running nose. When you give the “whole” of the cold you are giving everything – the cough, fever, congestion, sore throat, and running nose. You are not giving just the cough or just the congestion.
Peter is commanding us to give the “whole” worry. The result will be that when those worries come up we will not worry but cast them over to God. The word “cast” means “having deposited with”. It refers here to a direct and once-for-all committal to God of all that would give us concern.
It all comes down to knowing that God is in control, He knows what we are going through and promises to see us through them. We must give it to our Lord Jesus all our cares and burdens because He never broke His promises to me to you and to us! Thankyou and have a great and blessed day ahead.GODBLESS!
