And a great windstorm arose, and the waves beat into the boat, so that it was already filling. 38 But He was in the stern, asleep on a pillow. And they awoke Him and said to Him, “Teacher, do You not care that we are perishing?” 39 Then He arose and rebuked the wind, and said to the sea, “Peace, be still!” And the wind ceased and there was a great calm. (Mk 4:37-39)
In this passage from the Scriptures, the companions of Jesus ask Him, “Don’t You care that we’re in danger of dying?” Is it ever possible for God to NOT care about His sheep? Decidedly NO—it is not possible!
Here are just several passages from the Bible to demonstrate my point.
Do not be afraid of them; the LORD your God himself will fight for you. (Deu 3:22 NIV) God fights for you.
And the Lord, He is the One who goes before you. He will be with you, He will not leave you nor forsake you; do not fear nor be dismayed. (Deu 31:8) The Lord never leaves you; don’t be fearful.
The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom shall I be afraid? (Ps 27:1) The Lord will light our way and give us strength.
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. (Lk 12:7) God not only loves us but He also values us highly.
So we may boldly say: “The Lord is my helper; I will not fear. What can man do to me?” (Heb 13:6) We may boldly declare that “God is my helper.”
In this the love of God was manifested toward us, that God has sent His only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through Him. 10 In this is love, not that we loved God, but that He loved us and sent His Son to be the propitiation for our sins. (1 Joh 4:9-10) God loved us first, and gave us His salvation.
Our salvation was designed by God the Father and paid for by Jesus Christ, our Savior. What more proof do we need that God cares for us always, at all times, and in all circumstances? We are the objects of the unconditional and unending love of God. Hallelujah!
