He Knows and He Cares

   First Peter 5:7 states that He (God) cares for you (me).

   Now usually I read over this and just pas it by, as if it were common knowledge, and I understand what it means, and what it entails for me in my life situation right now (or anytime).

   This morning I got up fairly early, came into my study room, and my first thought was that God knew where I was and what I was doing right then. The fact that there were billions of people around the world at that particular moment, doing something, and He was willing to be here with me and interact in such a way that I could even realize this fact, was, in itself, amazing.

   He knew and He cared. What a thought! Could I even get my feeble mind around that fact? What kind of implication did it have on my life, even as this day begins?

   I shoot off a quick prayer at night without much thought at all, that if He wants me to get up early and read, study, pray, think, or whatever, He will wake me up. So, it happens and I come in here to do it. Then the thought hits me that He knows and cares, and that makes all the difference in the way I approach this special time.

   He knows what I care about and who I care about, and He cares about them, too. He knows about the things that will be in my life today, and He cares about that also.

   Perhaps I should write these words on my hand, so I could notice and remember the fact of His love all day long, and not let this special moment just get lost in the living of an ordinary day. He has written them on my heart, and I want to let them be my constant companion.

   He knows that and cares about that, too. Awesome......
