Who Am I?

Psalms 8:4 What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?

When I consider the vastness of this world, the billions of people who have lived on this earth, it blows my mind that God in mindful of me. He knows my uprising and my down sittings. He knows the number of hairs on my head. How amazing and awesome is that! Who am I, that Jesus should reach down to me and give me special attention. He passed through the place where I was living and stopped to let me know that He loved me and cared about me. Who am I, that He should take the time to visit me! I don’t understand the love and grace of God, but am glad that He did. Life and all of its unknowns does not minimize the fact that he takes notice of us when we suffer, when we hurt, when life brings disappointments. God is there, and He will provide a way through. I don’t understand why He does, but I smile at the thought that He watches over me. 

Humble, Submit, and Cast

1 Peter 5:6,7 “Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your cares upon Him, for He careth for you.”-

 Does God really care? When the load gets heavy and life’s pressure starts to squeeze the breath out of you. Sometime it takes times like these to get us to realize how much we need Him. May I dare say, that God often allows us to face these difficult situations to test our faith. Are we willing to humble ourselves before Him and acknowledge that He alone is our answer. Humility is best demonstrated when we realize that we are nothing and He is everything. That it is only when we allow the pride of our heart to be slain and summit ourselves to the might hand of God that we will know the freedom in casting all our cares on Him. He does care, but we must humble ourselves to Him and His will.
