I have always found it hard to believe that God knows how many hairs we each have on our heads.  I know it is true because God’s word says it to be true.  I cannot even imagine knowing this about one person, since that number would be ever changing.  But, our God is awesome and does all things well.

     He knows when one small sparrow falls from the sky.  Matthew 10:29-31  “Two sparrows cost only a penny,  but not even one of them can die without your Father knowing it.  God even knows how many hairs are on your head.  So, don’t be afraid.  You are worth much more than many sparrows.”  (The Everyday Bible)

     When I watch the sparrows and other birds at my feeder and bird bath, I certainly don’t know the condition of each one.  I don’t know when one gets hit by a car, or when a hawk swoops down and grabs one.  I don’t even notice when my cats eat one for lunch, unless they leave feathers on the sidewalk.  Yet,  God thinks they are worthy of His attention.

     What an awesome God we serve.  He not only is a God of mighty miracles like parting the Red Sea and raising he dead; but He also cares about the little details of life.  If He knows when a sparrow dies, surely He must know when your water bill is unpaid.  If He knows how many hairs are on your head, surely He must understand the pain in your heart, the confusion in your mind, the weaknesses in your body.

     Our God created the universe.  Our God designed the solar system.  Our God programed our bodies to function and all the different systems that work together to make us who we are.    He can be trusted with anything we have.  He loves our children more than we do.  He understands our complicated relationships with others.  He knows what we need, even before we ask.  Matthew 6:8  “…..for your Father knows what things you have need of before you ask Him.”

     We are worth so much more than a sparrow, so I  know we can trust Him.
