137. Maybe He Doesn't Even Care

This is the 4th episode in our Maybe Series. Have you ever felt as if God doesn't care about you or about the circumstances of your life? Hebrews 4:15-16 reminds us that God does care and that He can sympathize with us because He experienced temptations.

We must be careful to recognize the lies of the enemy and discard those. Instead, let's cling to the truth of God's word. Remember to ask, "who told me that?" Scripture tells us over and over again that He does indeed care.

Sometimes we cannot understand why God is not doing what we think He should do. Why is He allowing pain and hard things to happen? The decision we have to make is to choose to trust God - even with things are not going our way. The choice is to run to God or to run from Him.

Paul in 2 Corinthians 12 asked God to rid him of the thorn in his side. God tells Paul that His grace is sufficient, it is enough to carry us through. He gave us His riches at His own Son's expense. Therefore, we can be sure He cares.

Let's stop seeing things from our perspective. But remember James 1:2-4 where it tells us to count it all joy when we troubles come our way. When our faith is tested, our endurance has a chance to grow. "So let it grow, for when your endurance is fully developed, you will be perfect and complete, needing nothing."

We can trust that God's answer is best. We know that God is good. We know that He is faithful, will never leave us, will never forsake us. Cling to the truth - write things you know to be true - and keep them in your truth journal. We have not be abandoned. God cares for us.
