Humble yourselves, therefore, under the mighty hand of God so that at the proper time he may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on him, because he cares for you. --1 Peter 5:6-7
Leaving your car with a valet at a restaurant requires a certain amount of trust. You trust the valet based on the connection with the restaurant you are patronizing. You are confident that they will take care of your vehicle. You would not exhibit that same confidence if someone just came up to you and said, 'I'll park your car for you.'
With God, we can be very confident with casting our cares on Him because He cares for us. He wants us to free of cares so that we can focus on what He wants us to do. If we are going to confident that He will take our cares, we must realize X things about Him.
We humble ourselves under His mighty hand because He is omnipotent. There is nothing in this life that we face that God cannot handle. It is easy to say He can handle it but our action must match the statement. Casting our cares on Him means that we turn it over to Him and leave them there.
We humble ourselves before Him because He is omniscience. He knows everything that you are going through. God is not surprised when you go through a trial or tribulation. Whatever you are going through; however, God will exalt you in due season because you have humbled yourself before Him. This 'due season' is not the by and by of song and folklore. This 'due season' is the specific time of the Second Coming of Jesus Christ. You will be exalted then because you humbled yourself. Those who did not humble themselves will not be exalted.
Lastly we humble ourselves before Him because He is omnipresent. God is always there He never leaves us or forsakes us but is a very present help in te time of trouble.
Be confident in casting your cares upon God because you know that He cares for you.
