...often the accusation against God is that he doesn’t care – usually on the back of the fact that he hasn’t given us what we want be it health or wealth or whatever. Again as we think of those original readers, they may well have been wondering why doesn’t Jesus just deal with this Roman emperor? Where is God for those who are in prison? When things are bad and God doesn’t answer our prayers the way we want the question comes Jesus don’t you care?”
But we see through the whole of the gospel just how much God does care for us and how he has shown that in Jesus. Therefore we can trust him. We can take hold of his hand as we face the problems and issues of tomorrow and we can know that because he is God he is in control. Who is he? He is Jesus who is God and man and who as God has power and authority over the whole of creation and the whole of our lives. As such he asks us why are you afraid, not in condemnation but in love to encourage us to trust him with the things that worry us. Because of who he is and what he has done we cannot say don’t you care because it is so obvious that God does care.
