Does Anyone Care?

“I looked on my right hand, and beheld, but there was no man that would know me: refuge failed me; no man cared for my soul.” (Psalm 142:4)

David was fleeing from Saul and was hiding in a cave. This is the same David who killed the giant, Goliath. People had rejoiced at his victory over the giant. Now he found no one to be his friend and to care for him.

Generations later the Son of David would be arrested, tried and crucified while no one cared. He is the One who restored sight to blind eyes, hearing to deaf ears, mobility to crippled feet, life to the dead and who fed five thousand men besides women and children.

Jesus understands when no one cares whether you live or die. In every trial, burden and consequence you experience, Jesus cares for you. He is the Friend who sticks closer than a brother. He was caring for us when He went to the cross and died. He was caring for us in His glorious resurrection. He is caring for us even now as He makes intercession to the Father on our behalf.

Call on this friend. You are not alone.
