]]> My dear friend, Talia, once told me of her camping trip in the Negev of Israel. In a remote desert landscape, far from any city lights, with nothing to obscure her view, she found a place away from the campfire to sit alone in the dark and gaze at the stars. Oh, the vast myriads of stars she could see that were usually outshone by the lights of the cityscape! Suddenly, she began to feel quite small and frightened, realizing how immense the world is and the universe beyond our skies. She quietly returned to the closeness of the campfire and her friends who also keenly understood how she felt.

King David penned the same sentiments in Psalm 8:1-4,

“O LORD, our Lord, how excellent is Your name in all the earth, who have set Your glory above the heavens!… When I consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers, the moon and the stars which You have ordained, what is man that You are mindful of him, and the son of man that You visit him?”

When you think about the vast expanse of the Universe and the wonders of the sun, moon and stars, and the beauty of this planet that God created, and the billions of people that fill it, then you too can start to feel very small and insignificant. Yet, God has YOU in His thoughts at this very moment. At your cry, the Lord comes down from His position above infinity to meet you at the most finite point of your being. He delights in taking care of all your needs. And He has good plans for YOUR life to honor YOU for your faithfulness. You are His special creation. He is concerned with even the smallest details of your life.  He is intimately aware of where you are and what you are going through. Our Father is infinitely mindful of each one of His children.

He doesn’t want you to feel alone or intimidated to approach Him. We are assured in 1 Peter 5:6-7,

“Therefore humble yourselves under the mighty hand of God, that He may exalt you in due time, casting all your care upon Him, for He cares for you.”

God is GOOD and worthy of your worship today. “Let us therefore come boldly before His throne of grace, that we may obtain mercy and find grace to help in time of need.” (Hebrews 4:16) Have fun reveling in the grace and goodness of your great Heavenly Father today!
