Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - 1 Peter 5:7

DISCOURSE: 2413THE DUTY OF CASTING OUR CARE ON GOD1 Peter 5:7. Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.INEXPERIENCED Christians are generally partial in their views of religion. They often exalt one duty, to the neglect, if not the exclusion of another: but a proficiency in the divine life will discover itself by the united exercise of the various, and apparently opposite, graces. Faith will not exclude fear, nor meekness fortitude. Every grace will be limited and tempered by some... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - 1 Peter 5:1-14

Chapter 5Now the elders [the overseers] which are among you I exhort, because I am also an elder [or an overseer, an older man], and I am a witness of the sufferings of Christ, and I'm also a partaker of the glory that shall be revealed ( 1 Peter 5:1 ):Peter witnessed the death of Jesus Christ. I was a witness, he said. And also he was a partaker of the glory. On the mount of transfiguration, he saw Jesus transfigured, Moses and Elijah talking with Him of the things of the kingdom.

Let the bishops, says Jerome, know that they are greater than other presbyters, rather by custom than by virtue and reality of the Lord’s ordinance. Cap. 1. supra Sirum. 1 Peter 5:2-5 . Feed the flock of God, by all assiduity in preaching, and in pastoral care. Green pastures must be prepared for the flock, that the whole church may grow in knowledge and in grace. But in doing this be as gentle... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Peter 5:7

7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. Ver. 7. Casting all your care ] Your carking care, your care of diffidence. I will now with you sing away care, said John Careless, martyr, in a letter to Mr Philpot, for now my soul is turned to her old rest again, and hath taken a sweet nap in Christ’s lap. I have cast my care upon the Lord which careth for me, and will be careless, according to my name. It is our work, saith another, to cast care; it is God’s work to take care. Let... read more

Daniel Whedon

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 5:7

7. Casting Aorist: Casting off upon, once for all: casting off from yourselves the whole of your care and anxiety, and reposing it upon him. This does not mean every care as it arises, but it goes further back, to the laying of ourselves, with all that pertains to us, in God’s hands, in the fulness of a surrendering faith. If then some new subject of care arises, faith at once recognises it as belonging not to us but to him. So does most blessed, heavenly peace, reign within, under... read more
