Do you ever hear the phrase God knows the number of hairs on your head\nand think to yourself, \u201cReally? Why would God need to know that about me?\nOr why would He even care?\u201d\n.\nPsalm 139 talks about the intimate way God knows us. We are His creation,\nand He knits us together before we\u2019re born. God cares about the small\ndetails in your life, and throughout His Word He has shown His love in the\nsmall things.\n.\nFor example, in the Old Testament, God had the Israelites wander in the\nwilderness for forty years before they could enter the land He had promised\nthem. And during that time, God made it so their shoes and clothes didnot\nwear out. I\u2019ve never had a pair of shoes last more than five or ten years,\nlet alone forty. Even when the Israelites were wandering through the\ndesert, God still paid attention to their needs, down to the very soles of\ntheir shoes.\n.\nIn the New Testament, Jesus (who is fully God) also demonstrated this\nspecial attention to the details of the lives of those around Him. Through\none of His miracles, He made sure everybody in a hungry crowd had lunch.\nWhen Jesus performed the miracle of feeding over five thousand people, He\nshowed the abundance of provision that will be in the new creation.\nEveryone who ate had enough, and there were even leftovers. Keep in mind,\nJesus didn\u2019t need to provide food for this crowd who\u2019d been following Him.\nHe could have sailed away from them in a boat, but instead, He had\ncompassion on them. He chose to provide a meal for this crowd and display\nGod\u2019s love through service. Naomi Zylstra\n.\n Can you think of a time when you noticed God caring about a small detail?\n.\n What do these two examples from the Bible (Deuteronomy 29:5 and Matthew\n14:13-21) reveal about God\u2019s love for us?\n.\n the Lord says, During the forty years that I led you through the\nwilderness, your clothes did not wear out, nor did the sandals on your\nfeet.
