I Don't Care Anymore

Speaking to a friend by phone I made this statement, “Sometimes we Christians must have an, ‘I don’t care’ attitude.” Let me explain. In the area of which I speak there are two types of care: first, the legitimate kind you can do something about, and secondly, the illegitimate sort, of which nothing can be done. We must never worry about anything that cannot be affected or changed by us.

Paul tells us we are to “be careful for nothing” (full of care). That is, the latter kind mentioned above. Jesus taught His followers this type of care will cause one to lose their joy, and that the bounce in their spiritual step will cease. Unhealthy cares will directly hinder your fellowship with your Lord, as well as your brethren. Ask Martha, if you doubt me.

Those things in life we can do nothing about need to be thrown to the wind. Family, business, health, and politics, along with all other unsolvable problems, need to be treated as the chaff the Bible speaks of. “Let them be as chaff before the wind...like the chaff which the wind driveth away.” If you do not, that chaff will smother you to death. As Oswald Chambers has said, “It is okay to be on top of the feather bed, just don’t let it get on top of you.” My friends, let’s stay on top of things, and throw the rest to the wind!”
