Be Self controlled and Alert

When I look at the verse this week. 1Peter 5:7-8a Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares
for you.  Be self-controlled and alert.  That is a powerful verse: It says Vicki cast all your anxiety on Me(the Lord) because I(The Lord) care for you Vicki. Vicki, be self-controlled  So much of the time I think "I got this!"  However, how much better I would be  if I cast all of it on Him.
For the Lord is my self-control and He is the one who will keep be alert.  When you take a verse and put your name in it and have it as if the Lord is having a conversation one on one with you it is so much more powerful.  We need to be alert and be mindful that Satan is right there to distract us.  "Oh, you can have this.  It will be alright."  "You can start tomorrow"

 

We were made for more and we need to remember that.  I am thankful that this study is helping me to remember that.
