Who Cares?


I have been reading through Job and I have learned many things about God that I thought were important so I wanted to pass on to you.

Horrible things happen to Job over and over again. But God finally stepped in and talked to Job in chapter 38. And the things that He said really got me to thinking, so read them and think about them!

He was very clear and talked about some of the things that He had done. When He talked about things it made all of them make good sense and it made me think too. They should make you think too.

God created everything and He makes everything behave properly so that we can depend on it and gain something positive out of it.

But in John 16:33 He tells us clearly that in this world we will have trouble! But then He says to take heart because He has overcome the world.

So what does that mean? Will there be no trouble? No. Job had a great deal of trouble too but he believed in God. His faith needed some adjustment, but he had faith.

So our faith may need some adjustment. Mine did.

No matter what you may be reading now, read the book of Job! I did and my faith has grown and changed! I read The Message and I think that it is easy to understand. It’s a part of God’s word for a very good reason.

There is a commercial on television for Travelers Insurance and it says that at one time there were people who were concerned with all kinds of things like shopping carts and dust but now with Travelers Insurance they just say: Who cares?

Well, certainly Travelers Insurance can’t make bad things not happen, so there isn’t really any Who Cares? It is just a commercial to increase business, and increasing business means increasing dollars in this world.

But we have God. And while God didn’t make all of Job’s troubles go away or not happen, He won’t make ours go away or not happen either. He is capable and He does watch us, but faith doesn’t mean a perfectly simple and wonderful life on this earth. In Heaven yes, but on earth no.


Even though God created this earth and does create each person in it, one angel that He also created, Satan, also rules this earth, but not Heaven. God will rule there, and if you have real faith then you will go there.

So when bad things happen on this earth, and they will, if we have real faith, then we can really say Who Cares? Because we will know where we are going and who will be in charge.

Yes, this life will be hard, but the next life in Heaven won’t. There’s your hope!
