Details



The LORD truly is aware of everything in us, everything happening to us, and everything that could happen to us.

And He loves us.  Make that personal; He loves you.

One fairly well known portion of scripture that illustrates His awareness of all the details of our lives is Matthew 10:29,31:
Are not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows.

All of Psalm 139 shows this, too, but Psalm 139:17,18 makes it very clear:
How precious also are Your thoughts to me, O God!
How great is the sum of them!
If I should count them, they would be more in number than the sand;
When I awake, I am still with You.

Therefore, when we are in trouble, and the enemy whispers to us that we are on our own, that there is no one here to help us now, recall this truth; the LORD will never leave you nor forsake you.  He knows how to save you, and will save you from your present distress.

Jesus saves!  He still does!  Hallelujah!

Jesus Is Altogether Lovely


Yes, people often come to Jesus because they have a need He can fulfill.

But then, some get close and see His beauty, His glory, and the beauty of His holiness, experience His love, and discover He is altogether lovely.

Oh yes, He is altogether lovely. Really. And so, we fall in love with Him. Jesus. Hallelujah!
