Cast Your Cares

I've done a lot of meditating on this passage today. A good friend suggested that I read this passage (specifically verse 7) as I have been struggling with anxiety recently.
The main points that stuck out to me in this chapter as I read (starting in verse 5):
- Be humble
- Cast your anxiety on Christ
- Be serious and alert about the threat of the enemy
- Resist Satan
- Know that you are not alone in your struggles
I know there are other main points as well, but those are the ones that stuck out to me and formed an outline in my head. As I was reading, I looked in a study Bible that I had and it gave an acronym for resisting Satan:
B. Believe
O. Obey
W. Worship
We learned during DTS that our most powerful weapon we have against Satan is worship. True, true! I had forgotten that, but this helped remind me of that. So after reading this passage and meditating on it, I pulled out my guitar and sang some songs of praise to my Lord. What an awesome God we serve!
