Context of 1 Peter 5:7
5Likewise [ye] younger, be subject to [the] elder, and all of you bind on humility towards one another; for God sets himself against [the] proud, but to [the] humble gives grace. 6Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in [the due] time; having cast all your care upon him, for he cares about you. 8Be vigilant, watch. Your adversary [the] devil as a roaring lion walks about seeking whom he may devour. 9Whom resist, stedfast in faith, knowing that the selfsame sufferings are accomplished in your brotherhood which [is] in [the] world.

- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 7Casting all your care - · Your anxiety, your distracting care, on him, for he careth for you, ̔ ̔, for he meddles or concerns himself, with the things that interest you.

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 7Casting all your care upon him - Compare Psalm 55:22, from whence this passage was probably taken. “Cast thy burden upon the Lord, and he shall sustain thee; he shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.” Compare, for a similar sentiment, Matthew 6:25-30. The meaning is, that we are to commit our whole cause to him.

- Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 5-9Verses 5-9 Humility preserves peace and order in all Christian churches and societies; pride disturbs them. Where God gives grace to be humble, he will give wisdom, faith, and holiness. To be humble, and subject to our reconciled God, will bring greater comfort to the soul than the gratification of pride and ambition. But it is to be in due time; not in thy fancied time, but God's own wisely appointed time. Does he wait, and wilt not thou? What…Read the comment
