God Sees & Knows You.

 Psalm 147:3,5
He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds..Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite.

Does God really understand what we are going through? The current world population is almost 8 billion people. Does He really care about you and me? I see the mass of people each day go about their daily life and routine, and wonder what God is doing in their lives. Luke says, “But even the very hairs of our head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.” The great power of God not only sees each person that walks this earth, but He knows everything about us, even the number of hairs on our head. Wow! How amazing is our God! He is the “Way Maker, Miracle worker, Promise keeper, Light in the darkness, healing the broken hearts and binding people’s wounds, My God, That is who you are!” We may feel insignificant and small in the eyes of others, but in the eyes of God, He sees and hears the cry of our heart and our desire to love and serve Him. He is not only an Omnipotent God , but He is also Omniscient, He knows what troubles you, He knows the burdens you carry, and what is causing your heart to break. Jesus says, “Fear not.” Cast your cares on Him, for Jesus cares about you. You are not alone, He will not leave you or forsake you.

The Look of Jesus

Luke 22:54 61a, 62 And the Lord turned, and looked upon Peter… And Peter went out, and wept bitterly.

That look! Look of tenderness, love, and yes, sorrow. A look that caused Peter to weep for his betrayal. He who said he would go to the ends of the earth, dropped the ball when it really counted. But that look was also a look of forgiveness. The Lord who knows our frame and our weakness, our failures and shortcomings does not cast us away. He knows the way we have taken and wants us to get back up. If we have sinned, confess to Him our failure. If we have erred in judgment, He see our humanity. Jesus looks and has compassion on us. Let us weep with joy that He cares, and wants us to come unto Him.

The Heart of a Child

Mark 10:14 Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not: for of such is the kingdom of God.

There are some childish things that we should not put away. The disposition of children raised in environment where they are sheltered and protected is to trust those who care for them. They live life without care for they believe that their parent(s) will feed them, and keep them safe. They run, play and enjoy life without worrying if they will have supper, or have a place to rest their heads at night. It is this simple trust that the child of God has toward his Heavenly Father. He cares not today what tomorrow will bring, if sunshine or rain, he knows that God will provide for today and when the sun rises tomorrow morning. The kingdom of God consist of those who willing abandoned themselves to the providence of God and trust God that all will be well. The heart of a child is to trust.

God Does Care

Mat. 10:29-31 “Are not two sparrows sold for a farthing? And one of them shall not fall on the ground without your Father. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear ye not, therefore; ye are of more value than many sparrows.”-

The value of sparrows are next to nothing, but God cares even when the sparrow falls to the ground. He watches over that which we place very little value. The little things are important to God. There are billions of people that live on this earth, the world population makes us feel that we are very insignificant. “Does God really take interest in each one?” God’s word assures us that He does care, and understands when we are going through times of difficulty. He knows us better than anyone else, and desires to give us what we need. We don’t have to fear tomorrow, for He knows what we need and will provide us the help and grace when we need it.

On His Shoulders

Luke 15: “And when he hath found it, he layeth it on His shoulders, rejoicing.”-

 Often when am in a large crowd where there are thousands of people, I ask myself, “Does God really care about every single person on this earth?” History has recorded tens of millions of people have come and gone from this world, and to think that God took interest in each one of them. Humanity born into this world lost in sin are like sheep who have gone astray to do their own thing. Christ came to seek all who are lost in sin, to bring them into the kingdom of God. It matters not who you are or how insignificant you may feel, Jesus cares about your life and the problems you face. He desires to pick you up and carry you on His shoulders and bring you safely home. 

There are times as Christians that we need Jesus to take special notice of our situation, and we may wonder if this is just “life” and like everyone else we need to deal with it. We start to look at our circumstances and wonder how we will find our way out. Everyone has problems, and what makes us so special that God will take the time to rescue us. But, Jesus who is omnipresent and all knowing reaches down into our little world and carries us on His shoulders. On His shoulders, we can rejoice that He loves and cares for us individually and knows exactly what we need. Yes, it may seem at times that we are all alone and no one around to help, but I’m so glad we serve a God who take special note of our needs and He rejoices when we call on Him for help. Thank God, He carries us on His shoulders. 

Casting Our Cares on Him

1 Peter 5: 7 “casting all your cares upon Him, for He careth for you.”- 

Life is full of cares. All that walk this journey of life will have cares that will weigh heavy on the heart and bring stress to the mind and soul. there are billions of people that walk the path of life and all seek to find relief from the cares of life. Many will turn the elements of the world and arm of flesh to find solace with the cares of life. But God, who know the very hairs on our head desires that we cast all of our cares on Him. He knows what we are going through, He know the road we have taken and His only desire is that we seek Him to lead us down the path He has chosen for us. Casting our cares on Him is to cast our hearts into His care that He will see us through no matter the situation or circumstances we face in life. We have a God who loves us and only wants what is best for our life.
