I love to spend time in the small patch of woods bordering my yard. In the distance there are rolling hills and silos. Birds sing in the treetops or skip along the pine-needle-covered earth, scavenging for food. Rabbits hop past or peer at me with their big brown eyes.
The other day, as I was sitting there enjoying the fresh air and warmth of spring, I caught sight of a tiny leaf on the ground. The intricacy of it caught my attention, and as I bent down to observe it I was touched by the detail and creativity of our Creator.
Our Creator pays attention to detail. Nothing escapes His view. He cares about the little things in our lives as well. He intervenes in the details we can’t see, weaving our lives together into a tapestry of His glory and grace.
Nothing in all creation is hidden from God’s sight. Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account. Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need. (Hebrew 4:13-16)
Will we wrestle with Yahweh, or will we allow Him to work out the details of our lives as we seek His face in prayer and action?
He sees the full picture, when we just see a glimpse.
“The LORD looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men; From His dwelling place He looks out on all the inhabitants of the earth, He who fashions the hearts of them all, He who understands all their works.” (Psalm 33:13-15)
“It is He who reveals the profound and hidden things; He knows what is in the darkness, And the light dwells with Him. (Daniel 2:22)
“He provides them with security, and they are supported; And His eyes are on their ways. (Job 24:23)
What a privilege to be a child of God, knowing that He is faithful down to the last detail.
“Oh, the depth of the riches of the wisdom and knowledge of God!
How unsearchable his judgments,
and his paths beyond tracing out!
“Who has known the mind of the Lord?
Or who has been his counselor?
“Who has ever given to God,
that God should repay them?”
For from him and through him and for him are all things.
To him be the glory forever! Amen.” (Romans 11:33-36)
Joy this is so true. He is in everything good that we do or see. Always around us if we wish Him to be. He loves the praises of his people. Like you said, he went thru so much that we have never gone thru. He is qualified to help us with our trials and He would never expect to do that except He had suffered too. We have no one on this earth who can equal to Him. Every breath we breathe, deserves credit to Yeshua. We just need to love Him and serve Him with all our being. Love you, Joy and enjoyed being with you and family, Sabbath. You young folks truly amaze me. You are much beyond your years and that comes from the wisdom our Lord gives you. Love you and hope to see you this next week, love, Janice, Grady
Dear Miss Janice,
Your words are always so encouraging. All the praise to Yahweh….Yes, Yeshua is the reason for our life, and how much we need Him. You and Mr. Grady are such a blessing to have at Bible study, and how wonderful it is that you are able to come again! Love you ~ Joy
Wonderful words, friend! It’s amazing how God speaks to us through his creation. Have a blessed day!
