God Cares In Psalm 94:19 it reads “In the multitude of my thoughts within me thy comforts delight my soul.” The word “thoughts” in this verse is translated cares or thoughts that distract or divide. The New Revised Standard Version reads “When the cares of my heart are many, your consolations cheer my soul.” What a comforting promise. We perhaps have times in our lives when we have many cares. In those times God promises to cheer our souls with His comfort. Let's look at this same word “thought” that is used throughout Matthew 6:25-34. Why take ye thought ~or your life, your food, your drink, your clothes, your body, or for tomorrow? This doesn't mean don't think about it. It means don't let these things be distracting cares. Matthew 6:32 tells us that our heavenly Father knows that we have need of all these things. Matthew 6:33 “But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.” All what things? All those things cited earlier, those things that could tend to be distracting cares at times. Who cares? God does! He doesn't want us to have any distracting cares. I Peter 5:7 reads “Casting all your care on him; for He careth for you.” It does not say cast all your care upon Him when you don't know what else to do. Don't try everything else first; cast your cares on Him, for He cares! Again a form of the same word is used in Philippians 4:6, “Be careful for nothing; but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God.” The word careful means to become distracted or anxious. God does not want us to be distracted with any cares. God doesn't promise that we won't have
any cares. Isn't it great that we know what to do with them? Cast them unto
Him, let your requests be made knowr/unto Him, seek Him first, and be
comforted by Him. , Does anyone care? God does. God bless you today
