Is your Jesus too small?
IS YOUR JESUS TOO SMALL?
“Does He not see my ways, and count my every step?” (Job 31:4)
God is surely the Great Mathematician. God even “Determines the number of the stars and calls them each by name.” (Psalm 147:4). Astronomers estimate that at least 10 trillion, trillion stars exist in the heavens, and God has counted and identified each one! And that is not all: “The very hairs of your head are all numbered,” Jesus said (Matthew 10:30). From the most massive star to the tiniest hair, God has counted each component of His creation....AND HE KNOWS MY STEPS...
Such countings are far beyond our capabilities, for “the host of heaven cannot be numbered, neither the sand of the sea measured” (Jeremiah 33:22). But God has also created “an innumerable company of angels” (Hebrews 12:22) and has promised that the followers of Christ will include “a great multitude, which no one could number” (Revelation 7:9).
No wonder David exclaimed, “Many, O LORD my God, are your wonderful works which you have done, and thy thoughts which are to us-ward: they cannot be reckoned up in order unto thee: if I would declare and speak of them, they are more than can be numbered” (Psalm 40:5).
Perhaps the most wonderful of all God’s counting activities is that implied in Job’s rhetorical question: “Does God not see my ways, and count all my steps?” If He has numbered the hairs on our heads, we can be certain He numbers our steps along the way, and guides them all. “The steps of a good man are ordered by the LORD: and he delighteth in his way” (Psalm 37:23).
