It’s a wonderful day to be a child of God. Have you ever shared your dream with someone and they attempted to crush your excitement? They did all they could to discourage you and the hope you had in the Lord. They tried their best to hold you down. “No one has ever done that” is what everyone keeps saying to you. Have you ever found yourself feeling alone in this crowded world? Since no one understood you or your faith in God, you found yourself hanging with yourself. Have you ever tried to make your family and friends a part of the vision God gave you? Because of excitement and unwavering love for others, you desired to make your loved ones a part of the awesome work God was doing in your life. To your surprise, in stead of everyone supporting you and accepting your invitation, many mocked and ridiculed you. Have you ever been there? Are you there now?
This morning, I have been commissioned to come and minister to you. My friend, What Do You Do When No One Else Cares? What do you do when no one else shares your dreams and goals? The Bible declares in Psalms 37:3 – Trust in the LORD, and do good; so shalt thou dwell in the land, and verily thou shalt be fed. Life can really hurt at times. One day everyone can love and enjoy your company. The next day the same people can hate and refuse to be around you. Life can make the strongest man become weak, and the proudest man become humble. How do you handle being rejected especially when you are doing the will of God? The Bible declares in Proverbs 3:5-6 – Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. 6 In all thy ways acknowledge Him, and He shall direct thy paths. Even when no one else cares about your mission and desires, you must continue to obey the Word of God. When God called you, He foreknew everything you would endure. He knew people would reject you. He knew some family and friends would laugh in your face. He knew you would get tired along the way?
My brother, my sister, What Do You Do When No One Else Cares? You rest in the assurance that God does. The Bible declares in 1 Peter 5:7 – Casting all your care upon Him; for He careth for you. Beloved, the Lord cares for you whether man does or not. His love and support of you is not determined by the opinions of others. When others begin to talk bad about you that’s when you know God is moving in your life. If the enemy is attacking, you are fulfilling the will of God. If the enemy is not attacking, you should be nervous. The enemy never attacks who or what belongs to him (1 Peter 5:8). The Bible declares in Psalms 118:8 – It is better to trust in the LORD than to put confidence in man. Many people, who do not care for you or what you are doing for the Lord, allow jealousy to consume them and their hearts. Many people wonder why God is using you and not them. They fail to realize, He is God enough. He can use you and them too. Child of God, What Do You Do When No One Else Cares? You pray and proceed. Prayer for Today: Father, I know you have called me for great work. You have ordained me for an awesome assignment. Help me discern those who care and those who do not. In Jesus’ name … Amen!
