“Numbered hairs”

The very hairs on your head are all numbered. Matthew 10:30

Verse Reflections:  God cares about us this much.  Can you imagine numbering all the hairs on our heads?   And yet, God knows how many hairs are on our heads.  Why do we ever stress? Why do we worry about the issues of today or yesterday?  We have a God that loves us and invests in us this much.  This verse reiterates that He cares about every detail in our lives.  We can’t throw a detail up to Him that He doesn’t care about.  And this is why I believe in God Plus One.  He does care about what we eat.  He does care about what we weigh.  He does care about our health.  He wants the best for us.  We just have to KNOW that.  We just have to CLAIM that.  We just have to LIVE that.  So today I will remember that God cares about every detail, even details as small and fine as one hair.  I had to look up how many hairs we have, as a blonde I have approximately 150,000.  Wow!  Today I will know that God cares about every bite that I take, every food I indulge in.  He has given me wonderful, clean, pure foods that I can eat.  Today I will imagine my God who is so devoted to me that He is cares about every bite I eat as my loving Father.  It will give me the strength to make the right choices.

Prayer:  Father, how fun to know that You know every detail about me.  It makes me relax to know that You care that much.  I like that You know more about me than I know about myself.  Today I ask that You take that comfort, that love as my Father and translate it to a power within me.  I want to honor Your love for me with the choices I make.  You have obviously dedicated Yourself to taking care of me.  This verse shows Your love for me as a parent who knows every detail of their child’s body.  I feel a stronger foundation within just from the knowledge that You love me that much.  It makes me want to take care of this body that You created with such love.  As I brush my 150,000 hairs this morning may You shine within me and give me the desire to eat Your foods and honor this love You have for me.
