FAITH CAPSULE: God is a mindful and caring God for man but man is careless and mindless in their actions.
Genesis 18
Man that does not know the magnitude of God as a mindful of His children will not know to be mindful of God. Do you know that God is mindful of you? The Psalmist was concerned about how God is mindful of man when he declared, “When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars, which you have set in place, what is mankind that you are mindful of them, human beings that you care for them? You have made them a little lower than the angels and crowned them with glory and honor. You made them rulers over the works of your hands; you put everything under their feet: all flocks and herds, and the animals of the wild, the birds in the sky, and the fish in the sea, all that swim the paths of the seas.” (Psalm 8:3-8)
If the Psalmist was concerned about the mindful of God for man, have you imagined the mindful and caring of God for His children? God is mindful of man; He cares for man and not hide plan for His children that will not ignore Him by not fearing Him. At the time of the wickedness of Sodom and Gomorrah, the bible recorded, “Then the Lord said, “Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do?” (Genesis 18:17) Imagine God’s mindful and His care for His children? God could not react to the wickedness of Sodom and Gomorrah without carrying Abraham along in His word as stated, “Then the Lord said, “The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sin so grievous that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I will know.” (Genesis 18:20-21)
God is a mindful and caring God for man but man is careless and mindless in their actions. Man is mindful of the wicked world. What more can God do for us so that we know we have a God who truly cares for us? The birth of Jesus was not hidden when He revealed through some of His servants in the Bible. He revealed to Micah about the coming of Jesus long before Jesus was born, “But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are little among the thousands of Judah, yet out of you shall come forth to Me the One to be Ruler in Israel, whose goings forth are from of old, from everlasting.” (Micah 5:2) Receive and believe in Him. God is not a slave master but a Saving Master; God does not run out of mercy but by disobedience, man runs of His mercy. If man will begin to be mindful of God, living for God will be more meaning for man in this world.
