Who Cares

Have you ever felt that if you were to fall off the face of the earth no one would notice? I sure have. It sometimes seems as if the troubles and cares of this life are so overwhelming that we can't see the forest for the trees. We struggle to maintain the joy only to see it slowly slipping away. Sadly, our response sometimes is to just give up. I've been there!

The writer of the Hebrew letter understood the struggles a believer goes through. We are encouraged to "...keep a firm grip on the promises that keep us going. He always keeps his word" (Hebrews 10:23 MSG), and "Remember those early days after you first saw the light? Those were the hard times!" (Hebrews 10:32 MSG)

Remembering all the Lord has done for us in the past should serve as an indicator of what He will do for us in the future. He has been faithful, and there is no need for us to entertain the notion of giving up. In fact, the writer goes on in verse 35 to say, "So don't throw it all away now. You were sure of yourselves then. It's still a sure thing!" (Hebrews 10:35 MSG).

Our heavenly Father has given us what we need to get through this life victoriously! "Trust ye in the LORD for ever: for in the LORD JEHOVAH is everlasting strength" (Isaiah 26:4 KJV). "Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths" (Proverbs 3:5-6 KJV).

Who cares? God cares. So, keep on following Him.
