casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you.
Fear that God ignores us drives men to fierceness and violence; but the moment we believe God cares for us, we find peace and humility. This is not freedom from all care, but freedom from the anxiety that breeds impatience and pride.
AI summary
Humility is the great peacemaker in any Christian society; pride is the great breaker. Clothe yourselves with it as your finest garment, and God will give you grace; remain proud, and He will oppose and crush you.
