He Cares

 

He cares for you. (1 Peter 5:7)

Pause and let that sink in. The Almighty God, Creator of heaven and earth, bends His ear to hear you, not as a distant ruler, but as a Father who knows every detail of your life. We are called His sons and daughters. What a privilege! What a wonder! And it is all because of the finished work of Jesus Christ. Because of His sacrifice, we can boldly cry “Abba, Father” (Romans 8:15) and know that He hears us. Nothing is lost. Nothing is ignored.

And this is not a casual privilege—it is the most profound reality a believer can know. For thousands of years, no man could approach the Father without a veil. Now, through Christ, we have access. His Spirit lives in us. Jesus reveals the Father. And we can come boldly, confident that He listens and cares.

“Nor was it to offer Himself repeatedly… But as it is, He has appeared once for all at the end of the ages to put away sin by the sacrifice of Himself.” (Hebrews 9:25-26)

 

Discipline: Proof You Belong

Here is a truth the world will never cheer: God disciplines those He loves. Not out of anger, not out of irritation, but because His children matter.

“For the Lord disciplines the one He loves, and He chastises every son whom He receives.” (Hebrews 12:6)

Do not ignore this. To be without discipline is to be illegitimate, not a son (Hebrews 12:8). The world mocks correction, complains about boundaries and celebrates freedom without responsibility. But God’s Word is clear: discipline is proof of belonging. It is the Father shaping us into Christlikeness.

Every correction, every conviction, every piercing word of the Spirit is mercy. It is His hand guiding, protecting, and shaping you. The High Priest understands, for He Himself was tempted in every way, yet without sin (Hebrews 4:15).

Discipline is not punishment—it is formation. It is not rejection—it is love. And in a generation that shuns accountability, the disciplined life marks those who truly belong to God.

 

Blessings Beyond Wealth

Now hear this carefully: God’s blessings are not judged by wealth. Absolutely not. In fact, the Lord sometimes blesses through apparent scarcity. He reminds us:

“The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of Man has nowhere to lay His head.” (Luke 9:58)

And yet, His provision is perfect:

“Consider the ravens: they neither sow nor reap, they have neither storehouse nor barn, and yet God feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?” (Luke 12:24)

True blessings are faithfulness, peace, spiritual growth, obedience, and alignment with His will. Material wealth does not define His care. The richest life may look like poverty to the world, yet be overflowing in His kingdom. Discipline often prepares us for the blessings we cannot yet see.

 

Standing Firm Against the Noise of the World

Turn on the radio, scroll social media, or watch the news—everywhere there are voices opposed to God’s truth. They preach self-gratification, freedom without boundaries, and obedience as a form of oppression. They call conviction “shame” and holiness “legalism.”

But we are not governed by opinions, by culture, or by perception; we are governed by Scripture.

“All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness.” (2 Timothy 3:16)

Let the world shout. Let voices rise. Let culture mock. You have a Father whose Word is ultimate. You have a Son who intercedes for you. You have a Spirit who teaches you. And you have the assurance that discipline, care, and blessing all flow from His perfect love.

 

The Gift No One Wants but Every Son Needs

Discipline is a gift. Proof you are His. Proof you belong. Proof that He cares. And blessing is far more than wealth. It is faithfulness. Peace. Obedience. Spiritual growth. Provision in every need according to His perfect plan.

“Humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, so that at the proper time He may exalt you, casting all your anxieties on Him, because He cares for you.” (1 Peter 5:6-7)

Receive it. Cherish it. Walk in it. The Father disciplines because He loves. The Son has opened the way. The Spirit guides. And all His blessings, measured by eternity, cannot fail.

He cares for you. He disciplines because He loves. He calls you His own. He blesses beyond measure, not by the world’s standards, but by His perfect Word.

Walk in that truth today.

 

“Peace to all of you who are in Christ.”
