Daily Devotional 10/8/09 Yes, God Does Care

From: Reflections

1 Peter 5:6-7, NKJV: Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.

God Intervenes. He runs to our rescue. He sees us in our need, and works to meet our need. At times, this is difficult for us to see. At times, it is hard for us to understand. Sometimes, it seems as if God is far off; almost as if He is unaware of our need. Sometimes, it may seem as though we are less important than others, or as though our need is negligible in the eyes of God. But our eyes have difficulty seeing clearly through the tears. Our minds get confused when emotions mix with our perception that is limited to our account of the facts. God sees all, cares for all, and will work all things to the good. Sometimes, we cannot see this but only through the eyes of faith. Sometimes we have to be willing to say, “Lord, I don’t understand, but I trust You.” It is in that complete surrender, that we find peace in the storm. It is in that childlike faith that we find we do not have to have an answer from God that meets with our own understanding--we simply only have to have God--believing that in Him is all we need.
