Happy Monday! As Dale Carnegie said, “Today is the tomorrow you worried about yesterday.”
Did it ever occur to you that nothing ever “occurred” to God? The smallest details of our lives are planned by our great God. When Kind David was a prisoner of the Philistines, he wrote, Thou tellest my wanderings: put thou my tears into thy bottle: are they not in thy book? (Psalm 56:8)
Does He bottle our tears? Does He know our wanderings? Does He know even the smallest details of our lives? According to John 10:3, God knows His sheep by name. Our Shepherd knows us intimately. What a personal God we have! This should help to eliminate the many anxieties that happen daily.
Recently, I lost a small item that was important to me. I prayed about it and then exhausted all means that I knew to find it. Finally, I decided my carelessness had caught up with me. Days later, I was thinking of a bag of clothing that I was preparing to send to the Salvation Army. A small purse came to my mind, and I rushed to search for it. When I looked, I found the item in that purse. Some may ask, “Coincidence?” No!
The One who names the stars—ten billion trillion of them—is also the One Who cares and binds up wounds. Psalm 147:3-4 says, He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names.
Do you need this reality in your life today? Receive it, and remember, you are precious to God!
“He cares for you,
He cares for you,
He ever loves and cares for you;
He’ll do what no one else can do
For Jesus cares for you.”
