How God Thinks of Us and Cares for Our Sorrows

How God Thinks of Us and Cares for Our Sorrows

"I am wonderfully made and deeply loved, for it is written, 'I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvelous are thy works; and that my soul knoweth right well.' (Psalm 139:14). I walk in faith and strength, trusting in God's plan for me, for His word says, 'For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end.' (Jeremiah 29:11). 

A Devotional: There are several people we love and care about who are going through sickness, difficulties, loss, discouragement and recovery. We are praying for you, our thoughts are with you. May God comfort you and heal you in mind, and body. May he comfort your heart.

How God Thinks of Us and Cares for Our Sorrows

The heart of God toward His children is one of profound love, tender compassion, and unshakable faithfulness. In a world that often leaves us feeling unseen or burdened, the Bible is a constant reminder of how deeply God knows us, thinks of us, and cares for us.

In Psalm 139:17-18, it says, *"How precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! how great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand."* This verse reveals that God’s thoughts toward us are not fleeting or casual—they are vast, intentional, and filled with love. The Creator of the universe is intimately aware of every detail of our lives, and His thoughts toward us are precious. Can you imagine that? The One who formed the stars in the heavens thinks of you constantly. You are not a forgotten face in a crowd; you are cherished and valued beyond measure.

God not only thinks of us; He is also deeply aware of our sorrows. In Psalm 56:8, the psalmist declares, *"Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book?"* This poetic imagery shows us how God values and acknowledges every tear we shed. He does not dismiss our pain or overlook our struggles. Instead, He tenderly collects our tears as if they were treasures, a testament to His compassion. He knows the depths of our heartaches, and He walks with us through every storm. What a comfort it is to know that no pain goes unnoticed by the One who loves us most.

God’s desire for us is beautifully summarized in Jeremiah 29:11, *"For I know the thoughts that I think toward you, saith the Lord, thoughts of peace, and not of evil, to give you an expected end."* His plans for us are filled with hope and purpose. Even when life feels chaotic or uncertain, we can trust that God’s intentions for us are always good. He desires for us to walk in His peace, to grow in His grace, and to experience the abundant life that comes from knowing Him.

As we meditate on these truths, let us remember that we are never alone. God’s thoughts toward us are countless, His care for our sorrows is tender, and His plans for our lives are filled with hope. Today, take a moment to rest in His presence, bring your cares before Him, and trust in His unfailing love. He sees you. He knows you. And He holds every tear, every joy, and every moment of your life in His hands.

*Prayer: Lord, thank You for thinking of me with love and for caring deeply about my joys and sorrows. Remind me that You see me, know me, and walk with me through every season. Help me to trust in Your plans and to find peace in Your presence.

In Jesus Name Amen.

Jesus's Name

Jesus's Name

I turned on the radio on the day after Thanksgiving Day.  I found a sermon being preached and started listening to the last part of the program when I heard “The name of Jesus is not as important as God’s Word.” Now, I do not know what was said after that because I clicked it off.  I had never heard that before. It was something new and unusual to say.   

The verses about Jesus’s name came to my mind and also Hymns sung about Jesus’s name. 

Philippians 2:9-11

Wherefore God also hath highly exalted him, and given him a name which is above every name:

That at the name of Jesus, every knee should bow, of things in heaven, and things in earth, and things under the earth;

 And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

*Mary and Joseph did not name Jesus, but Gabriel told them what Jesus’s name was to be. Mathew 1:21-22. God named Jesus.

 And she shall bring forth a son, and thou shalt call his name JESUS: for he shall save his people from their sins.

* Most Marters came from th 20^th century many were told to deny Jesus Christ or Die. 

Acts 4:10- 12

Be it known unto you all, and to all the people of Israel, that by the name of Jesus Christ of Nazareth, whom ye crucified, whom God raised from the dead, even by him doth this man stand here before you whole.

11 This is the stone which was set at nought of you builders, which is become the head of the corner.

12 Neither is there salvation in any other: for there is none other name under heaven given among men, whereby we must be saved.

 

*Jesus and God’s Word Are Just as Important – The Word was made Flesh

John 1:1

¶ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.

2 The same was in the beginning with God.

3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.

4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.

In John 1:14   And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

*If we were to replace Jesus Christ’s Name with any other name it would make the Bible a lie.   Jesus’s Name and The Bible are just as important and can not be separated without compromising the truth of God’s Word.

If you remove Jesus Christ from the Bible – You remove the truth from the Bible. 

  Jesus said in, John 14:6 Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

The Bible Points To Jesus In Every Chapter.

We sing about Jesus, we pray in his name.

Bring joy to our Father and glory the same.

We believe in his power, His love we proclaim.

And those who will trust him forever are changed.
