“We also…desire that ye might be filled with the knowledge of His will…that ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing” (Colossians 1:9-10).
Recently I happened to see an article on the internet entitled, “17 things God does not actually care about.” The article was trying to encourage people not to be concerned about such things as their body type, whether they were rich or poor, whether they had many natural abilities or only a few, whether they had a good job or a menial job, etc. The entire focus of the article was trying to get people to show love, kindness, sympathy, honesty, etc., rather than being concerned about things that they could not change.
It is true that we should not be overly concerned about things we cannot change, such as our body type, our natural abilities, or whether we are rich or poor. However, God is indeed interested in every aspect of our life, and for us who are Christians, we can be assured that the Lord wants each one of us to use whatever talents and possessions we have for His glory. But there were several things in the list of things on the internet that perhaps deserve a comment.
