Why, even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not; you are of more value than many sparrows. (Luke 12:7 ESV)
Hair and Faith
It is sometimes said, “the devil is in the details.” But I disagree. God’s care for His people is displayed in the details. Jesus reminds us here that even the individually insignificant hairs on your head are identified, counted, and known by God.
Since God pays such close attention to such tiny things as an individual hair, it follows that He also pays close attention to the whole head of hair. If God pays such close attention to the whole head of hair, it follows that He also pays close attention to the entire head. If God plays such close attention to the entire head, it follows that He also pays close attention to the rest of you.
God’s children, adopted through the priceless sacrifice of His only begotten Son, are of immense value to Him.
He apparently cares about sparrows… but He cares more about you.
He apparently cares about your individual hairs… but He cares more about you.
The next time you wonder of God notices you, look in the mirror and try to count your hairs.
God has already counted them. He has already noticed them. He has already noticed you. He has already purchased you. He already gives you something to believe in.
Take the faith God grants us.
