INSIGHT FOR TODAY
Giving our worries to God acknowledges His sovereign and loving care for us (1 Peter 5:7). Jesus devoted a portion of His Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5-7) to the topic of worry (6:25-34). He specifically told His listeners not to worry about their life—including food and clothing—but instead to observe birds and flowers and see how lovingly God provides for them. Noting His care for them, we better understand His love and care for us, for we are much more valuable than birds (v. 26)! Christ said, “Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life?” (v. 27). Instead, we’re invited to focus on God—who’s so much bigger and greater than we are—and entrust our concerns to His loving care (vv. 33-34; 1 Peter 5:7). (Insight By: Alyson Kieda)
Our Daily Bread – 19th October 2025 Devotional MESSAGE
I walked to the airline kiosk to check in using the confirmation number stored in my cell phone. But my phone was missing! I’d left it behind in the car that had dropped me off. So how could I contact the ride-hailing driver who’d dropped me off?
As I scrambled to connect my laptop to the airport’s Wi-Fi, I worried it was too late. Utilizing an app, my husband noticed my phone wasn’t with me at the airport and had already sent me an email—waiting for me as soon as I connected to the Wi-Fi. His email said, “Send me the car service’s number and I’ll take care of it.” My husband had jumped in to take care of things—giving me an immediate sense of peace.
This is part of the peace I believe God wants us to enjoy in the relationship we can experience with Him through Christ. First Peter 5:7 reminds us to “cast all [our] anxiety on him because he cares for [us].” This verse says that God wants to take on our worries and concerns. Why? Because He cares that much for us. We can give our cares to God rather than allowing them to swim around in our heads as we try to figure things out.
Casting our anxiety on God is a form of humility that acknowledges that He’s much more capable of handling our concerns than we are (v. 6). Although something may pop up to cause us to suffer (v. 10), we can rest in His care and provision. (Message By: Katara Patton)
REFLECT: What do you need to cast on God? How does it encourage you to know He cares for you?
PRAY: Gracious God, thank You for allowing me to place my worries and concerns in Your faithful hands.
