DAD'S RAMBLINGS -- GOD CARES ABOUT YOU

DAD'S RAMBLINGS – GOD CARES ABOUT YOU

"Look on my right hand and see, for there is no one who acknowledges me; refuge has failed me; no one cares for my soul." (Psalm 142:4)

Have you ever felt like this? No one care about me. No one pays any attention to me. Where are people when I need them?

This was a prayer of David when he was in a cave when he fled from King Saul. He was in a desperate place. His heart was overwhelmed (vs. 3). He cried to the LORD because he was "brought very low" (vs. 6). He was in despair.

When we feel that no one cares about us, we can be assured that God cares. Peter said we can cast all of our cares upon Him, because He cares for us (I Peter 5:7).

God cares about what you are going through today. When we feel like David felt – that our refuge has failed us (vs 4), we can cry out to the LORD and make supplication to Him, pour out our complaint and declare before Him our troubles because He cares for us.

The old chorus says, "He careth for you, He careth for you. In sunshine and shadow, He careth for you."

Audrey Meier wrote this song:

"It matters to Him about you, Your heartaches and sorrow He shares. 

Regardless of what you may do, He wants you, He loves you, He cares.

O yes, it matters to Him about you, believe it because it is true.

Cling to His hand, He understands, for it matters to Him about you."

Love, Dad
