He really cares

John Paton was a missionary in the New Hebrides Islands. One night hostile natives surrounded the mission station, intent on burning out the Patons and killing them. Paton and his wife prayed during that terror-filled night that God would deliver them. When daylight came they were amazed to see their attackers leave. A year later, the chief of the tribe was converted to Christ. Remembering what had happened, Paton asked the chief what had kept him from burning down the house and killing them. The chief replied in surprise, "Who were all those men with you there?" Paton knew no men were present--but the chief said he was afraid to attack because he had seen hundreds of big men in shining garments with drawn swords circling the mission station.

Psalms 46:1 “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble.”

      The Psalmist is indeed very sure and confident about the fact that HIS God is always ready to react when reached out. In this fast and furious life we often run out of fuel and are challenged in so many ways. Let this come as a breather that we have a God who is always ready to help us.

As we reach out to Jesus in all the moments of our lives, let’s be assured that he really cares for you and me. We are His children and he will never forsake us. As we walk with HIM let us find him as our refuge and strength for He really cares.
