GOD DOESN’T CARE?
But wait! The Scripture says,
“Casting all your care upon him;
for he careth for you.”
1 Peter 5:7.
That’s true! But it is also true that God doesn’t
care about some things, some of the very things we
care about. Below is part of God’s list.
God doesn’t care how many Facebook friends
we have. His concern is for our Jesus friends.
”If you love me, keep my commandments”.
John 14:15

God doesn’t care how many Twitter followers
we have. He only cares that we deny ourselves,
take up our cross daily, and follow Him. Luke 9:23
God doesn’t care about the minutes on our cell
phone plan. He cares about the minutes we
spend talking with Him.
1Thessalonians.5:17; Ephesians.6:18
God doesn’t care about the important celebrities and athletes we know. His primary concern
is that we know Him and the truth. I Timothy 2:3, 4
God doesn’t care if we have the fanciest watch.
He wants us to watch the use of our time.
Ephesians 5:16
God doesn't care if we wear the latest fashion
or best clothes. He wants us to be clothed with
Christ. Galatians 3:26-27
God doesn’t care about the size of our homes or
how much money we have. He wants us to realize that material things don’t last, so we need to lay
up treasures in heaven. Matthew 6:19-21; 1 Timothy
6:17-19).
God does care what work we do. He wants us to
do all things in His service and to His glory.
Colossians 3:23-24
