Throughout the Old and New Testaments, there is a recurring theme that consistently appears whenever humans encounter the Divine: they fell at His feet. This posture of humility showed their humility and worship of God. It showed the incredible disparity between the position of man and the position of God. However, there is a distinct difference between falling at the feet of God in fear of His overwhelming power, majesty, holiness, and splendor and being invited to cast one’s self at God’s feet like a child who falls at the feet of his loving parent in a plea for their tender care.
Peter wanted his churches to understand two things: first, that falling at the feet of God in humility is always the appropriate response of a human before God, and second, that the children of God’s adoption, believers, Kingdom-followers are invited to humbly cast themselves down at the feet of Jesus to find love, comfort, solace, and care. Throughout Scripture, the theme of God’s loving care for His children remains the same; He wants us to take our cares and sorrows to Him because it is His delight to care for them.
The truth for the believer is that GOD LOVES YOU! He is personally concerned with your needs and trials, and He WILL take care of you. Peter wanted his churches to lay their burdens at the feet of Jesus and rest in peace and confidence that He would care for all their needs.
