‘Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.’ 1 Peter 5:7
It is interesting that the apostle Peter employed a term from his former occupation as a fisherman to advise Christians how to handle the cares and worries of daily life. What does ‘casting’ involve? It calls for ‘throwing away’ and ‘letting go.’
This verse falls naturally into two sections; each emphasizing a responsibility. Our part: ‘casting all your care upon him’ and God’s part: ‘he careth for you.’
As the ravages of Covid 19 intensify, ‘lockdown’ continues and anxieties increase let us follow Peter’s advice, bearing in mind those two parts. We do the casting, God does the caring.
