This shows that the Lord is caring of all his people because the child was healed. My second quote comes from Proverbs 15:25, "The Lord destroys the house of the proud, but he protects the property of the widows." The previous quote is another justification for a caring God. He destroys the proud, but protects and cares for the widows. My final quote for this particular image of God comes from Proverbs 22:22-23, " Do not rob the poor because they are poor or exploit the needy in court. For the Lord is their defender. He will injure anyone who injures them." I think this final representation of a caring God is excellent. It states that if you rob the poor or sin against some one you will be sorry. For the Lord is their (our) defender, and you will pay the consequences for your sinful actions. I really like this image of God because I see God as a caring God in my life today. I believe he understands me and can care for me as long as I don't turn my back on him. I think God was, is and always will be a caring God.
My third image of God goes along with the previous, yet is more in depth. It is the image of God as a miracle worker through Jesus Christ. The first quote to prove this image comes to us from Mark 8:5-9, ""How many loaves of bread do you have?" he asked. "Seven," they replied. So Jesus told all of the people to sit. Then he took the seven loaves, thanked God for them, broke them into pieces, and gave them to his disciples, who distributed the bread. A few small fish were found, too, so Jesus blessed these and told the disciples to pass them out. They ate until they were full and put the scraps into seven large baskets. There were about four thousand people in the crowd, and he sent them home after they had eaten." This is one of the greatest miracles God performs through Jesus. He feeds a hungry crowd of four thousand with barley any food. This miracle is practically unexplainable.
