God Knows

Scripture: “And even the very hairs on your head are all numbered.” Matthew 10:30

Have you ever noticed how much people notice? I was sitting at a basketball game with a little boy who was playing with my flip open brush. He found it fascinating. I knew that if I did not get it back soon, I probably was not going to get it back. At least not willfully, so I let him look at the pictures on my phone and I tried to quietly retrieve the brush from where he had placed it. He noticed me trying to slip the brush away and said, '' No, I want to play with it.'' A little later he asked, ‘‘can I take it home with me?'' The point is he noticed even the slightest movement of something that he cared about.

The same thing takes place between God and his people. He loves you and cares about you so much that he notices your every thought, every word, and everything that you do! He knows where you are and everything about you at all times. You cannot run away from God! In Matthew 10:30 Jesus says, ''But the very hairs on your head are all numbered.'' These words spoken by Jesus prove that he knows every single detail about you. I encourage you today to speak and to treat your family, friends, and even enemies respectfully, because God is watching!
