1 Peter 5:6-7

John Trapp Complete Commentary - 1 Peter 5:6

6 Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that he may exalt you in due time: Ver. 6. Under the mighty hand of God ] If God can blow us to destruction,Job 4:9; Job 4:9 , nod us to destruction, Psalms 18:16 , what is the weight of that mighty hand of his that spans the heavens and holds the earth in the hollow of them? That he may exalt you ] The lower the ebb, the higher is the tide. A deluge of sorrows may assault us, but they shall exalt as. And the lower the foundation of... 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

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - 1 Peter 5:6

6. Humble yourselves therefore Because God thus resists the proud and gives grace to the lowly-minded, enabling them to endure, and lifting them up in times of trouble and persecution, they are exhorted to receive with perfect submission all things that befall them under the government of the Lord, in the full assurance that soon or late, in his own way and time, he will exalt them in the removal of the trouble, or in taking them to himself. 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
