Day 994 – Does God Really Care? – Meditation Monday

Wisdom-Trek / Creating a Legacy Welcome to Day 994 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Does God Really Care? – Meditation Monday Thank you for joining us today for our five days per week wisdom and legacy building podcast. This is Day 994 of our trek, and it is time for Meditation Monday. Taking time to relax, refocus, and reprioritize our lives is crucial in order to create a living legacy. For you, it may just be time alone for quiet reflection. You may utilize structured meditation practices. In my life meditation includes reading and reflecting on God’s Word and praying. It is a time to renew my mind, refocus on what is most important, and make sure that I am nurturing my soul, mind, and body. As you come along with me on our trek each Meditation Monday, it is my hope and prayer that you too will experience a time for reflection and renewing of your mind.  Life is difficult at times, and we feel that pressure is so much that we are unable to continue. We may question ourselves, our relationships, and even our God. Jesus came to dwell among us – to be one of us, His creation. Jesus also understands us fully, especially when we are too weak to carry on under our own power. In our Meditation Monday today, I want us to reflect on… Does God Really Care? I bet all of us have wondered whether God really cares for us. Does He understand what we are going through? How could He? That is one reason that God sent His one and only son, Jesus, to become one of us. Hebrews 4:15 tells us, &#8220;This High Priest of ours understands our weaknesses, for he faced all of the same testings we do, yet he did not sin.&#8221; He also became one of us to bring us salvation and freedom from eternal death. Does this promise matter? If you ever wonder if God understands you, it does. If you ever wonder if God listens, it does. If you ever wonder if the Uncreated Creator can, in a million years, comprehend the challenges you face, then ponder long and hard the promise of the incarnation. Jesus is “able to understand our weaknesses.”  How can He? “Because He faced all of the same trials as we do.”  <img class="alignnone size-medium wp-image-20130...
