I have to admit I’m a bit of a Facebook addict. I have some justification, at least in my mind, for my addiction. My husband and I live way out in the country, our kids are grown, and his business takes him away from home occasionally so I spend a lot of time at home alone. Facebook is the way I connect with the outside world and stay in touch with friends.
Sometimes the posts I get really makes me wonder what kind of world we actually live in. I remember one of them was entitled “Are we Smarter than God?” This person’s assumption was that through science man has been able to achieve a status higher than the almighty himself. I found myself thinking “How arrogant! To God the planet is nothing more than a spec of dust and if God wanted to He could send it careening out of orbit and off into space with just the flick of his finger. Man would surely be doomed if He did such a thing!”
Thank God His care for us is above our arrogance and pride. He has perfect knowledge of us yet He still loves us. Psalm 139:1-6 says, “Lord, You have searched me and know me. You know my sitting down and my rising up; You understand my thought afar off. You comprehend my path and my lying down, and are acquainted with all my ways. For there is not a word on my tongue, But behold, O Lord,,, You know it altogether. You have hedged me behind and before and laid Your hand upon me. Such knowledge is too wonderful me; It is high, I cannot attain it.”
Isn’t it wonderful to know that Jesus cares so much about us? He knows our every intimate detail of our lives. He knows our motives, desires, and words before they are expressed. He knows His servants completely. He even has the hairs on our head counted. (Mat. 10:30)
I rejoice every day that even though God is so strong he could literally destroy us with the flick of His finger, He does not. He cares for us so much that He knows everything about us, loves us beyond all human comprehension, and keeps us in His thoughts constantly.
“How precious also are Your thoughts to me O God!
How great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with you.
Psalms 139: 17-18
