MESSAGE
God cares for His children, He is concerned about every detail of our life. The Psalmist says that God knows our frame and remembers that we are dust (Psalms 103:14). David could not wrap his head around the idea of God’s love for us sons of men that He would even want to have anything to do with us (Psalms 8:4).
Everyone who has become His children through Jesus Christ has access to His divine nature and He cares for them. When such walks through the valley of the shadow of death, God, the good shepherd will be with and comfort them (Psalms 23:4).
Do you know that He promised never to leave you not forsake you? This is true and it shows the extent to which the captain of our souls cares for us. The Bible says that for this reason, we can cast our cares upon Him with the assurance that He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7).
One natural tendency of humans is to worry because of the things happening around us, but God’s children have been assured that all will be well. Rather than worry, our Heavenly Father says we can pray and thank Him with the assurance that everything will be alright (Philippians 4:6).
The Bible told us in our text of the day that we are more valuable than sparrows. Even our very hair is numbered by God. What this means is that God is involved in every detail of our lives as children. No matter what situation or life throws at us, we can be fully persuaded that God is with us and everything will end well.
Every of God’s children must with confidence make Romans 8:28 their watchword because it is true that God uses every event, circumstance, trial, temptation, and other life issue to bring us into His ultimate plans for our lives. This statement is true because God cares for you.
Stop listening to satan’s depressive lies, God cares for you and your present situation is but a stepping stone into something big and great. Never forget that God’s plans for you are good, because His thoughts towards you are of peace and not of evil to bring you to a beautiful end (Jeremiah 29:11). Stick with God and you will experience His warm love and grace to help in your hour need.
REFLECTION
Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?
Matthew 6:26 NKJV
God cares for you more than the birds of the air, so lay all your burdens at His feet and He will take care of you.
PRAYER
Father, I lay all my burden at your feet today, please stretch forth your loving arms and solve all my problems today in Jesus’ name. Amen
