“And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered.” Matthew 10:30 NIV
God knows everything about you, good and bad. He cares about you. He loves you. He desires a close relationship with you. We should honor this special relationship by seeking Him, communicating with Him, listening to Him, and obeying Him.
Years ago my wife desired to lose some weight for all the obvious reasons as the rest of us. She prayed for strength and guidance to do so–a really good idea. She shared this action with a couple of family members. They berated her! They replied with unbiblical comments like “God’s not concerned with your weight” and “God is too busy controlling the universe to fool with such a request” and “God doesn’t have the time”.
None of our requests are too little for God. He cares deeply for every aspect of our lives, knowing not only the number of hairs on our head, but also every thought, word, and deed. God has the universe on auto-pilot. He made it and everything in it in only six days. He spoke it into existence! Time is a concept that exists on earth. I’m pretty certain we won’t find any clocks in heaven! God’s not concerned with time as it doesn’t apply to Him.
I believe in a big God. It’s incredible that He loves us so much that He sent Jesus to earth to be the sacrificial lamb to die on our behalf, inviting us to simply believe that Jesus is the Christ and making Him Lord of our lives. We, too, can join Him in heaven one day and escape sickness, hurt, sin, struggles, and yes, even time!
How big is your God? What do you think He desires in a relationship with you?
Prayer: Thank you, God, for loving us so much, even though we don’t deserve it. We seek to always honor, praise, and glorify You. Amen.
