Sometimes when I think about God,
my head spins. It spins when I consider
the idea that God is aware of every molecule and DNA that exists in the
universe. My head actually hurts when I contemplate
the idea that God knows every mosquito or fly that exists or ever existed. Why do I have such stupid and useless
ideas? It’s because the Bible tells me
that God knows every star and put each one in its place (Psalms 8:3, 147:4) and
Jesus tells me that a sparrow cannot fall to the ground without God’s knowledge
(Matthew 10:29, Luke 12:6).
Why ponder such ridiculous ideas? It’s because when I consider that in the
midst of the 8 billion people alive today, God is not only aware of my
situation, but He even knows the joys and the cries of my heart. This makes my head stop spinning, my heart
stop pounding, and my blood pressure go down.
God knows. This is an astonishing, marvelous, and
comforting thought. David was in awe of
this thought. David pondered, “When I
consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and stars, which you
have set in pace, what is man that you are mindful of him, the son of man that
you care for him?” (Psalms 8:3)
I join David in his
contemplation. As great and mighty as
the LORD is, He thinks about me. He considers
me. He cares for me. He values me.
He loves me. I can’t wrap my mind
around it and I don’t understand it. But
it doesn’t matter. I believe it and
accept it—God knows. That suffices.
