March 3- Like Father, Like Son

Leviticus 27:14-Numbers 1:54
Mark 11:1-26
Psalm 46:1-11
Proverbs 10:23

Psalm 46 ¹ God is our refuge and strength, an ever-present help in trouble.

² Therefore we will not fear, though the earth give way
and the mountains fall into the heart of the sea,

³ though its waters roar and foam and the mountains quake with their surging.

So, does God involve himself with us, and care about our daily lives? Or does God set us up like a top, start to spin us around and watch us wind down? The way we see this question does impact how we view God. If God sets us up and watches us go, then we can have the same level of commitment to him. Like creator like creation, like father like son. He was never there for us, and we aren't there for him. However, if God is involved, if God does care, then we have a responsibility to him. As the text says, "God is an ever present help in trouble, therefore we will not fear." Like father like son. If God cares, then so should I.

So, does God care? Look at the way he lived and died for us. Notice his compassion, willingness, and dedication. God came to earth in the form of Jesus, the son of God. Jesus showed us great love and care. Like father like son. Yes, God is involved! Yes, God cares!
