God Is Mighty Enough To Care About The Details of Your Life

From little on I’ve been taught that God is mighty to save. Yet there were times I wondered if He was too mighty to care about the details of my life.

Does He really notice when I cry? Does His heart break when mine does? Does it matter to Him if I feel worthless, am at my wit’s end, have a bad day, get injured or sick, or feel alone?

Maybe you’ve asked the same questions.

Since the Word reveals the truth, I took my questions there. And Scripture unequivocally and emphatically assures you and me that God most certainly does care for the details of your life. Maybe not what kind of eyeliner you wear, but certainly the matters of your heart and soul. 

God Cares

Really, why else would He orchestrate salvation by sending His Son to earth to become human? Certainly, it was to save us. But there was more to it than that.

Jesus Christ became man so we could have a relationship with the Father.

So Jesus could experience the pain and sorrow we experience.

So Jesus could cry real tears and feel cold and alone.

So Jesus could know what it is like to be ridiculed and estranged. 

And while on earth Jesus shared the Father’s love in ways we could relate to. He fed thousands, calmed rough waters, and healed the sick and disabled.

He held the little children, dined with sinners, and even changed water into wine.

God’s loving attention to us is also demonstrated in His creation itself. He provides community and rest and beauty.

His first priority is the state of our eternal souls, but God’s love for us is highlighted in the way He cares for the details of our lives.

Here are just a few of His promises found in Scripture:

 “The Sovereign Lord will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove his people’s disgrace from all the earth” (Isaiah 25:8).

“Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted” (Matthew 5:4).

“The Lord is the One who will go before you. He will be with you; He will not leave you or forsake you. Do not be afraid or discouraged.” (Deuteronomy 31:8)

“Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.” (Luke 12:7)

But God is also mighty to care. What temporal comfort that provides!

God is indeed mighty to save. What blessed assurance! But God is also mighty to care. Share on X
