WHAT IS MAN THAT YOU ARE MINDFUL OF HIM, OR THE SON OF MAN THAT YOU TAKE CARE OF HIM? (Heb 2:6)
I don't know exactly why Jesus chooses to be mindful of me, or you, or any of us, or why He chooses to take care of us every single moment of every single day of our existence but He does and I am so very, very, VERY, thankful that He does. Over the past few days I've been doing some big time praying, the kind of praying that happens when there's something going in your life that needs Jesus' immediate and expert attention. The kind of praying you do out of a sense of urgency and absolute necessity. The kind of prayer that should be commonplace in the daily lives of every Christian but is sometimes only utilized in cases of emergency. And that's not me making any assumptions about anyone else's prayer life, its me being honest about my own. So, I was doing some big time praying and I was doing so in faith, knowing that not only was my Lord hearing me but also that He was going to act on my behalf. And even though I knew these things I was still amazed when He did answer. And my amazement wasn't at the fact that He answered. Nor was I amazed at how promptly He answered or how perfect His provision was. I was amazed that such perfection could be used on me by the Almighty, All Knowing, All Seeing, All Powerful, Creator of the universe even in the midst of Him holding said universe together.
AND HE IS BEFORE ALL THINGS, AND IN HIM ALL THINGS CONSIST (Col 1:17)
...UPHOLDING ALL THINGS BY THE WORD OF HIS POWER... (Heb 1:3)
In the midst of this He took the time to tend to me. Little old me, unworthy me, undeserving me, but, because of a willful act of my Father that same me is the one who is loved unconditionally. The one who's cherished and precious in the eyes of my Lord and Savior. The one He is mindful of and takes care of. How utterly mind blowing is that? I mean its incomprehensible but yet its so and I don't know why its so but I'm so thankful it is. Thank you Jesus.
