God Cares For You

God Cares For You

"The salvation of the righteous comes from the Lord; he is their stronghold in time of trouble."
Psalm 37:39

During our lives there will be times that all of us will experience tough times. Many of you will face death, where someone you love will die. It could be a parent, grandparent, a close relative or friend, but you will experience what it means to lose someone you love. Most of you will encounter other tragedy's such as the loss of a job, a failed marriage, a health issue or some other catastrophic event. For those of you who have suffered any kind of tragic event, you probably felt all alone during this time, as it may have seemed that others around you did not notice or care. Their lives were as normal as usual. as they went to work, to school, to their ball games, and other activities as if nothing happened. You may have even thought to yourself, "Does God even care." When we look at Jeremiah when he considered the suffering of his people. Jerusalem had been destroyed and its people carried off to Babylon. Jeremiah was concerned that no one seemed to care, but them he remembers that the Lord cares and that His love never ends. "Because of the Lord's great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail." Lamentations 3:22 You need to realize that every time you have had troubles in your life, that God cared for you. He felt your pain, and allowed you to survive. In God's plan for your life, He knew all of these things in advance, and it was all part of His will. Even though we don't always understand why tragic things happen to us, we must never forget that it was God's will, but He promises brighter days ahead.
