… The God Who created all … knows all; … and yes, even knows every hair on my head.
Reference Passage #3 [NKJV] : … John 3:16 [NLT] …
16 “For this is how God loved the world: He gave His one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.
… This is how much God loves me (and you)!!
My Devotional Journal: Today's ODB author, Sheridan Voysey, emphasized the vastness of our universe (see photo) to illustrate just how much God loves His crowning creation - me and you. The ODB author wrote: The universe is astonishingly grand. Right now the moon is spinning around us at nearly 2,300 miles an hour. Our Earth is spinning around the sun at 66,000 miles an hour. Our sun is one of 200 billion other stars and trillions more planets in our galaxy, and that galaxy is just one of 100 billion others hurtling through space. ... Astounding!
In comparison to this vast cosmos, our little Earth is no bigger than a pebble, and our individual lives no greater than a grain of sand. Yet according to Scripture, the God of the galaxies attends to each microscopic one of us in intimate detail.
I pray today that I - no, … that WE ALL - can internalize the reality of what Ms Voysey is teaching in today’s ODB entry. Because, I admit that the vastness of God’s love for me (or for you) tends to escape me, … especially in the context of His entire creation (take in the linked song and the photo).
Can you grasp it as you look into the sky on a clear night? … The very God who created all of that, not only knows every hair on my head (Matt. 10:28-30); but He loves them all (John 3:16); and He loves me (and you) enough that He gave up His Son for us.
Do I sense my readers here - along with me - proclaiming a loud and thankful HALLELUJAH?!
My Prayer Today: Abba Father, … King Jesus, … in the vastness of Your creation I praise Your Holy Name for loving me. Again, … HALLELUJAH!! … Amen
