The Lord is awe-inspiring, fearsome, fascinating, intriguing, majestic, and full of splendor: breathtaking! Here is what I saw of him and what came to my heart and mind in 1 Peter 5:7,
"Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you."
Here is a simple statement that should hold great significance for us all. We do not have to stew in our anxieties - God cares for us!
We read in Proverbs 19:22a, "What a person desires is unfailing love..." Our challenge in this life can often be that we simply do not find the care and concern we seek in those around us as we look in all the wrong places. Knowing that God cares for us and has our very best interests at heart and is capable of making all things turn out the way he desires should bring to us a great solace, let alone simple relief from anxiety.

Peter reminds us that we are God's "special possession" as we are "the people of God", 1 Peter 2:9-10. As such we should celebrate this very special place God holds for us in his heart as we consider the care he has for us!
