How Many Hairs?

“Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”
Luke 12:7

Do you know how many hairs are on your head? Some of us have lots, some not so much - but I know I don’t have the patience to count them. I don’t have the eyesight either. But God knows how many hairs are on your head. He knows what your real hair color is and he knows how many hairs fall out each day. The point is God knows you!

Because He knows you personally - better really than you know yourself He knows exactly what you need and when you need it. Keep in mind that what we think we need and when we think we need it, is not the same as His plan – at least most of the time. Unfortunately because we work on a different clock than God does we often times get frustrated, perhaps we even doubt his love for us. Today if you are frustrated and doubting – look beyond the storm or trials you are facing to a Roman cross where Jesus once surrendered His life for you and then look beyond that cross to an empty tomb that assures us of a victorious and abundant life.

He knows how many hairs are on your head – He knows you personally and He loves you more than anything – rest in that today and be blessed.

A prayer
Father – Thank you for caring about the little details of our lives, thank you for the cross and the empty tomb that allows us to rest in Your arms and live abundantly in Your grace. Show us the blessings you have for us this week – help to be watching for them. In the name of Jesus Amen.
