God Is Caring For YOU !

I woke this morning thinking that Sunday was too long to write my next post. I had the topic of God caring for us on my mind so I started looking through scripture and searching using Bible Gateway. Bible Gateway is a site that allows you to search scripture by verse, topic, or keyword. The verse that got me thinking was in Deuteronomy 11:12 "It is a land the LORD your God cares for; the eyes of the LORD your God are continually on it from the beginning of the year to its end." This does not mean God is caring for your house or your land, the verse is not literally talking about land its talking about us. Despite this many forget God or reject Him in their life. Although we try, humans in general cannot love or care like He can. Gods love for us is truly unconditional; even the worst sins cannot affect Gods love for us if we ask for forgiveness. (This goes back to Gods grace, His ability to forgive us, and the fact that we shouldn't take advantage of it.) Too many believe that if God does not fulfill their wants and desires He does not care for them. This is not the case at all. God cares for you on his terms not yours. You might ask "Why would He do that? Why would God not listen to what I want?" It is because the way we think we should be cared for is a skewed view of what is right for us. Much like children asking for candy from their parents, we are children in the eyes of God. God will provide for you what you need, that may vary depending on what is going on in your life. If life is going great, your doing good, your happy; we tend to forget about God. If life is bad we question God and say why is He not caring for me, why is God not making my life great. The answer to that is it is not His job. God is not there to make our lives perfect but He will care for us as needed. Think of a time when you were in trouble or things seemed to be falling apart in your life and ask yourself: "did God not care for you or provide for you to help you through it?". Every time I feel like I have hit rock bottom or run into a challenge God has cared for me and got me through it. He will lead you through your time of need if you just ask. Talk to Him and He listens, and watch closely for His answers.
