Submit to God, Resist the Devil*

A few days ago when as I was reflecting about all the varrriiouss things on my mind, out of nowhere, the verse, "cast all your cares upon Him because He cares for you" came to me. Because I was not 100% sure that this was the correct quotation I googled it and eventually, browsed on to look at the verse's overall context.

I hope the verses (below) can impart some of that same enlightenment which I feel, to you, and serve to remind you that He is there waiting for us whatever we may be going through..

The verse..

"Submit to God, Resist the Devil


5 Likewise you younger people, submit yourselves to your elders. Yes, all of you be submissive to one another, and be clothed with humility, for

      “ God resists the proud,
     But gives grace to the humble.”

6 Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, 7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. 10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. 11 To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
" 1 Peter 5:5-11 (NKJV).

(Believe it or not, I only wanted to underline the really KEY parts of the verse.! :$)

Enjoy your week and God bless! :-)
