4/12/19  THE CENTER OF MY ATTENTION – THAT’S HOW MUCH I CARE!

SAW AND HEARD:

I saw that I came up to a bulletin board and I read it. I saw the words Message Center.  Check in.  I heard an angel say, Are you lost?  I then saw a red flag on a map and had the impression that it was a map on the bulletin board. Then I heard the Lord say, You are here.  You may enter in. The center of My attention.  I give you Mine.  Will you give Me yours?  Focus. 

I am keeping you dear one.  Your concerns.  Give them to Me. 

Psalm 55:22 Cast your burden upon the LORD, and he shall sustain you: he shall never permit the righteous to be moved.

Psalm 62:8 Trust in him at all times; you people, pour out your heart before him: God is a refuge for us. Selah.

1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he cares for you.

As I pondered the above scripture, I wondered if it meant that our focus is on what we are concerned about, but because He cares for us, He takes “care” of all our concerns.  I was wondering if there was a priority in level of care, like the possibility that He doesn’t care much about our circumstances but because He cares so much about it, He takes care of the circumstances.

AMAZING CONFIRMATION and ANSWER!

I had my morning devotions in the above.  Then I had to stop and go to my doctor appointment.  I was very concerned about the appointment and had given all my concerns to Him, just as He told me to.  (I was worried I might have a tumor.)

Then when I was waiting in the office I looked up the scriptures that He cares for us in order to see what care meant.  I stopped at the following scripture, which basically meant the disciples were wondering if Jesus cared about them – that they were dying!  That was addressing exactly what I had wondered this morning, does He care less about our circumstances and more for us personally?  I was amazed when I personalized the passage, remembering what I had pondered this morning:

Mark 4:37-41 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full. 38 And he was in the rear of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awoke him, and said unto him, Teacher, care you not that we perish? 39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm. 40 And he said unto them, Why are you so fearful? how is it that you have no faith? 41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

When I looked up the Greek I saw that this type of not caring means there is no personal concern or interest.  That was the Lord’s answer to my wondering this before in my devotions!

I saw they had wifi so I went to Word to Ponder website.  Remember I am sitting in the doctor’s office waiting for my appointment, when this W2P popped up.  Upon reading it in amazement the Lord reminded me that I heard an angel say to me this morning. Are you lost?

I AM CARING FOR YOU

You may sometimes feel like you have fallen through the cracks of life and lay discarded and lost.  But nothing could be further from the truth.  I have sent human and spiritual doctors to care for you and bring you back into the place I have prepared for you.  That place is a healthy soul, so that your body too shall prosper.  Release your fears and let Doctor Jesus send My nurses into your life, dear one.

Isa 63:8-9 NKJV

… He became their Savior. In all their affliction He was afflicted, and the Angel of His Presence saved them; In His love and in His pity He redeemed them; And He bore them and carried them all the days of old.

The Lord is so amazing to bring such personal comfort and care into our lives!  I breathed a sigh of relief when the doctor looked and said it was a hernia, the type that is not dangerous at all and they did not operate on that type because they just come back.

As I pondered my morning, the Lord brought back something that Bobby Conner shared.  One day he gave a word to a women and it was “Year dear, I saw you there plucking those feathers!”  She crumpled at the word and Bobby wanted to know what it was all about!  Evidently when she was young her job was to pluck feathers and she was in such despair while plucking, she said, God do you even care?  Do you even know where I am?

WORD TO PONDER:  YOU ARE IN THE CENTER OF MY CARE 4/12/19

Dearest child, I have come to give you My abundant life.  I speak Life, Life, Life over you!  Yes I care about you, yes I care about your circumstances.  I care about what you think, how you feel, who you are in EVERY DETAIL of your life.  I cause everything to work together for good in your life, because You have set your love upon Me.  You are at the very center of My attention.  Always know that the moment you turn your heart and focus towards Me, I am there listening precious one.  You are My dear, dear child and I care for you with all that I AM.
