Thoughts on Today's Verse...

In the immense expanse of our universe with its billions upon billions of stars, we recognize that Earth is just a tiny blue planet in the great expanse of all that is. We are little more than a speck of sand on an inestimable seashore we call the universe. Yet God, the Creator, has chosen to know each of us personally and created each of us for a specific purpose (Psalm 139:13-16). Such a lovingly knowledgeable Creator may seem too wonderful to be true; it may feel impossible, yet he is that and more! God has shown his love for us in Jesus. Jesus is God's reminder that he not only knows us as our Creator, but also knows us as we are in human flesh - existentially, empathetically - because he came to us in human flesh as Jesus (John 1:14-18). The Sovereign Lord loves us, and his great power and outstretched arm are working for our eternal good (Romans 8:28).

My Prayer...

Great God of creation, thank you for caring for me even though I am such a small part of your great work in our vast universe. Your love is beyond my comprehension, yet it thrills me to know that you know me and are working to bring me home to you so I can see you face-to-face, know you intimately, and see you as you truly are (1 John 3:1-3). In Jesus' name, I praise you. Amen.
