In this message concluding 1 Peter chapter 5, Pastor Byron teaches believers about facing suffering by examining man’s responsibility and God’s guarantees, explaining that true security comes from surrendering control to God’s mighty hand rather than relying on man-made coping devices. He presents four responsibilities—humble yourself, cast your anxiety on God, stay alert and sober-minded, and resist the devil by being firm in faith—followed by God’s four promises to those who suffer: He will perfect (restore) you, confirm you (make you solid as granite), strengthen you (fill you with power), and establish you as a foundation—challenging believers to identify which charge they most need to become candidates for God’s lifting them up.
