Of Infinite Value

Not even a sparrow, worth only half a penny, can fall to the ground without your Father knowing it. And the very hairs on your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are more valuable to him than a whole flock of sparrows.Matthew 10:29-31
God cares about even the smallest creatures that in the world’s eyes are worth only a penny or less. The same God who created the expanse of the heavens, majestic mountains, glaciers, and everything else on earth and holds the whole world together by his powerful word knows the number of hairs on our heads—and watchfully and lovingly cares about each one of us individually. This one truth is worth rejoicing about all day—God cares about me! I am of infinite value to him. Nothing happens to me apart from his knowledge. He knows my name, my aches and struggles, and he loves me. We do not have to be afraid, for our heavenly Father is watching over us. Our part is to stay connected by trusting him.

LORD, thank you for your tender, watchful care. Help me to remember all through the day that you are with me. You know every detail about my life—who I am, what I like, where I go—nothing is hidden from you. I rejoice because I have no need to be afraid. Your love for me means more than anything else in this world. May I go about my days with quiet confidence and peace, knowing that I am safe in your hand.

WE HAVE BEEN PLANTED ACCORDING TO A DIVINE PATTERN, EVEN IF WE DO NOT ALWAYS UNDERSTAND THAT PATTERN. GOD IS INTERESTED IN EACH OF US “MICROSCOPICALLY” AS WELL AS “TELESCOPICALLY.” THE HAIRS OF OUR HEADS HAVE BEEN COUNTED, BUT THE UNIVERSE IS ALSO IN HIS HAND.
Corrie ten Boom (1892–1983)
