There’s a song by that name that says that if God didn’t care we would essentially be out in the cold….or there would be nothing at all. But doesn’t God show He cares in literally everything?
Yesterday, I put up a prayer request for a young lady who had collapsed at her home. She was without oxygen for at least 5 minutes and the doctors feared that she would be vegetative if she lived at all. Last night she died.
Now, to some, this would seem that God did not care at all for that young lady. That is not true. At times, it may seem that God abandoned us at our biggest need but, in reality, He did what any Father would do. He stopped the suffering. That young lady now is in the arms of our very capable Father who loves her very much. We have no idea what caused the collapse, nor the reason why He allowed this to happen. What we do know is that He is ever faithful, even when it may not look like it to us.
Yes, my God cares deeply for each and every detail of our lives. That’s why it is vital that we choose to spend time with Him, to seek His council on all things. If we do not, we are flying blind. It’s only through trusting in the Creator Who knows the machine we live in and the lives laid out before us that we are able to get to those things that God has for us as His children.
So, prayer does work regardless of what it may appear to look like. If God truly did not care, we would be floundering in a sea of confusion all the days of our lives. And that simply is not true. We do have guidance even when we seem to not be able to hear His voice. He has given us a love letter that we can read any time we choose to do so. It’s called a Bible.
Maybe now would be a good time to go dust off the Book and open the pages. Just read a few words, a paragraph a day. It’s amazing what will speak to you if you allow it. And please do not forget to keep the family of this young lady in prayer. This was devastating and unexpected. They were not prepared for it. God DOES care. He proves it every day you are alive.
