MORNING WINGS DAILY DEVOTIONAL - Olusola & Oreoluwa ADEJUMO
ONE IN BILLIONS!
Psalms 147:4, KJV
"He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names."
This is a personal knowing and it is one of the wonders that makes the Lord who He is. He tells the number of the stars in their multitudes and then He calls each of them by names. Forgetfulness didn't bash him and confusion didn't bug him.
If you're a teacher of many students, you'll agree it's often difficult calling all your students by name. We've heard cases where over a hundred students are in some public schools. In such a situation, the teacher might not have personal knowledge and information on each individual. That's the problem that confronts the limitedness of the human mind.
Meanwhile, if it were God, He is at all not bugged. He is not intimidated by the much computing of information. That's why a verse like we just read says, "He not only knows the stars but He also calls them by names."
Personal knowledge!
God has a personal knowledge of each one of us too. He knows us to the barest minimum possible. He created us and He has data on all of us. As we walk to and fro on the surface of the earth, we shouldn't think we're unseen and can't be related. God is the greatest bird or drone who has every detail on our lives even as we create new ones.
God while speaking in the book of Jeremiah says, "Before I formed thee in the belly I knew thee; and before thou camest forth out of the womb I sanctified thee, and I ordained thee a prophet unto the nations."
This is personal knowledge. He knows us! Meanwhile, it's not only Jeremiah God knows this way. He knows you too. He tells the number of stars and also calls them by names. God has even ordained what you should be in your calling and what destiny you're curated for. You only need to find out and fulfill them.
This however shows God's overwhelming care and recognition of the beings He has created. God is our arch parent. He doesn't bring forth to forget. He doesn't bring forth to neglect. He doesn't bring forth to jeopardize. He knows us. He has us!
Are you worried? Do you think yourself as insignificant? Are you being called worthless? Are you categorized as a non entity? God got you covered. Speaking of the sparrows, Jesus Himself says in Luke 12:6-7,"Are not five sparrows sold for two farthings, and not one of them is forgotten before God?But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows."
If God stretches to account for the hairs of our heads - one of the minute and insignificant part of we humans, what proof do we need again to ascertain if there's one with an unflinching love and care for us? Do you give recognition to what you take no interest in to the extent of learning its details? Yet God does that. He sure has interest in us.
Sparrows are very very worthless birds in Jesus' time. They are so inexpensive and worthless that five are sold for a farthing. Imagine that! Imagine selling something for five for #5. How cheap and worthless will that thing be in the Nigeria of today? Yet, our Bible verse says, "not one of them will fall to the ground without God knowing about it." God has self and conscious knowledge over His creations. If He does over ordinary birds that are so treated as worthless by humans, what about you? He says you're far more precious and worth more than they are. Will something just befall you without God taking notice?
You're this great before God. You're a very acknowledged entity. You're continually before Him. Know this and stop the anxiety, fretting, worries and doubts. He knows you by name amidst the billions on earth. Your data is just in His box and that of course places premium on you. That's why the Psalmist can say, "my times are in God's hand" (Psalm 31:15). It's because He knows God is the One watching over His portion in this life. Knowing that, these verses can't but come to pass over him and you yourself.
Psalms 16:5-6, KJV
"5 The LORD is the portion of mine inheritance and of my cup: thou maintainest my lot. 6 The lines are fallen unto me in pleasant places; yea, I have a goodly heritage."
Since God keeps your data this way, be sure He'll use it all to administer things for your good. No better shepherd and carer than He. Believe! Your times are in His hands. He maintains, governs and administers what befalls you.
PRAYER: Thank you my overarching parent. I stiff all worries and fears to receive in faith and assurance from You. You're the sailor and I'm guaranteed of safe destination.
