I was reading Ps 72 and ponding the reality of God caring. So I took a few seconds and jotted down all the things God does because He cares for us. If you can think of some, add them to the list.
- Makes intercession for us
- Rules history with justice and righteousness (fairday is coming)
- Gives gifts to people (leaders, servants, friends)
- Answers prayer
- Convicts the world of sin, righteousness and judgment (I thought I had to do this but I don’t)
- Speaks through Scripture
- Calls us to love – care- share one with another
- Calls us to disciple the nations (change the whole earth)
- Gives us focus for life (eternity, Jesus, things above)
- Provides hope and encouragement
- Cleanses our conscience ( I think the idea of conscience from Greek culture is “a remembrance of your past”. I love that my recall gets cleaned up.
- He supernaturally intervenes
- God renews our minds
- The Holy Spirit guides us, directs us
- The Holy Spirit comforts us
- Jesus provides a way to escape being controlled by sin and evil (freedom)
- God gives revelation (insight, understanding)
- God gives wisdom (when and how to do the right thing)
- We have the Holy Spirit, God’s very spirit in us, with us
- Jesus came and did all that God would do. Jesus – the very image of God reveal to us who God is so that we can have a relationship with God – not just with our idea of God.
Well, that’s my quick list.
