To Him Be the Dominion

Scripture: 1 Peter 5:6-11

1 Peter 5:6-11: Humble yourselves, therefore, under God’s mighty hand, that he may lift you up in due time. Cast all your anxiety on him because he cares for you.

Be alert and of sober mind. Your enemy the devil prowls around like a roaring lion looking for someone to devour. Resist him, standing firm in the faith, because you know that the family of believers throughout the world is undergoing the same kind of sufferings.

And the God of all grace, who called you to his eternal glory in Christ, after you have suffered a little while, will himself restore you and make you strong, firm and steadfast. To him be the power for ever and ever. Amen.

“We come dear Jesus to thy Throne, to open all our grief;
Now send the promised mercy down, and grant us quick relief.
Though Satan rages and flesh rebel, and unbelief arise,
we'll wait around his footstool still, for Jesus hears our cries”
— attributed to Helen MacKay MacDonald
