彼前5:7-11
7 你們要將一切的憂慮卸給 神，因為他顧念你們。 8 務要謹守、儆醒，因為你們的仇敵魔鬼如同吼叫的獅子，遍地遊行，尋找可吞吃的人。 9 你們要用堅固的信心抵擋它，因為知道你們在世上的眾弟兄也是經歷這樣的苦難。 10 那賜諸般恩典的 神，曾在基督裡召你們得享他永遠的榮耀，等你們暫受苦難之後，必要親自成全你們，堅固你們，賜力量給你們。 11 願權能歸給他，直到永永遠遠！阿們。
1Peter 5:7-11
7 casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.
8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil walks about like a roaring lion, seeking whom he may devour. 9 Resist him, steadfast in the faith, knowing that the same sufferings are experienced by your brotherhood in the world. 10 But may the God of all grace, who called us to His eternal glory by Christ Jesus, after you have suffered a while, perfect, establish, strengthen, and settle you. 11 To Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.

The Apostle Peter sent us another reminder through this passage. He encourages us to be humble and submissive to God and cast all our anxieties on Him. At the same time, he admonishes us to be alert to the devil, keep in sober mind, and resist him with steadfast faith.
Thank the Lord that He loves us, protects us, and watches over us, so that we can cast our burdens upon Him, fully trusting that He knows and cares all things that trouble us. When we are reminded that He has been protecting and providing for even birds in the air and lilies in the wild, how deeply we are assured that He will also take care of us, His own sons and daughters! Thank the Lord of all grace for calling us into His eternal glory through Jesus Christ; He will surely perfect us, establish us, and strengthen us so that we realize the purpose He has called us.
使徒彼得在本章特別提醒信徒們： 1. 對神：要謙卑、順服，並要將一切交託給 神， 2. 對魔鬼：要謹守、儆醒，並要用堅固的信心來抵擋牠。
感謝 神愛我們，祂時時保護、事事看顧我們，所以，我們可以安心地將一切的憂慮卸給主，深信祂必顧念。想想，天上的飛鳥、野地的百合花，神尚且顧念，更何況是祂的兒女呢？感謝這位賜諸般恩典的 神，在基督耶穌裏呼召我們進入祂永遠的榮耀，必要親自成全我們，堅固我們，最後, 也必要達成祂呼召我們的目的。
