Have you ever come across one of those videos that zooms out from earth, showing how small our country and continent and entire planet is in comparison to our universe? It’s easy to feel insignificant after seeing that.
But you are not insignificant to your God. He created the vast universe, yes; yet he’s aware of even the smallest details of our planet.
And out of all of it, he’s most concerned with you! Because he made you in his image (Genesis 1), you are the crown of his creation. So you need not fear anything in this world, because the Father who rules the country, continent, planet, all of it, cares for you every moment.
Matthew 10:29–31
Jesus said, “Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”
For meditation:
What is a regular part of your life that doesn’t feel significant? How does knowing that God created you remind you of that thing’s significance?
For prayer:
Lord Jesus, I can’t comprehend how you hold our universe together, yet I know that you know even the smallest details of my world. Help me to remember that I, and every person, are worth so much because you gave your life in exchange for each of us. In your name I pray, amen.
