One of the greatest promises in the Bible is that "The Lord Almighty will protect his people."  God knows those who are His and He will care for them as His own children.  We are the people of God and He will defend us as He would defend His own name.  What a glorious blessing for those who love Him to behold.  Do you love Him?  If you answer yes, He says, "Feed my sheep."  Why would He answer so strangely?  If one of God's great promises is that He cares for His own and you want to participate in His divine Nature by becoming one of them, then you must concern yourself with what concerns Him.  His people.  We revel in the fact that God loved us enough to send His own Son to His own people.  If we love Him then we would be willing to lay down our lives to do the same. (Zec 9:15)
