Our Caring And Mighty God!
Categories: Church of Christ Bulletin Articles Tags: Bulletin Articles on GodGod knows and numbers the stars, yet is concerned about you and me, even though we’re broken by sin (Romans 3:23). He binds our shattered hearts with sensitivity and kindness, and He brings healing into the depths of our souls. The greatness of God’s power is the greatness of His heart. His strength is the measure of His love. He is a caring and mighty God.
The Psalmist tells us that God “counts the number of the stars,” and even “calls them all by name” (Psalm 147:4). Would He care for the stars that are mere matter and not care for us, who bear His image (Genesis 1:27)? Of course not. He knows about our lonely struggles, and He cares (1 Peter 5:6-7).
God, in the form of His Son Jesus, was subject to all our passions (Hebrews 2:18). He understands and does not scold or condemn when we fall short and fail. He listens to our cries for help, and gently corrects us (Hebrews 12:5-11).
The stars will fall from the sky someday. They are not God’s major concern — we are! He “is able to keep us from stumbling, and to present us faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy” (Jude 1:24). And He will do it!
Because God cares about us, we can leave our cares with Him (John 3:16; 1 Peter 5:7).
