JOB 31:4 (NLT)
Doesn’t God see everything I do
and every step I take?
LUKE 12:6 (CEV)
Five sparrows are sold for only a few cents, but God doesn't forget a single one of them.
SUMMARY SENTENCE
Even the most insignificant of creatures are under God's watchful care—so we can count on him.
DAILY FODDER
There are no little people in God's economy. How does this shape the way we relate to him? How does this shape the way we relate to the "nobodies" around us?
PRAYER
God, you are both all-seeing and all-caring. What a powerful combination! Forgive me for wallowing in my self-perceived insignificance. Forgive me for treating others as though they aren't important. I pray for all who feel they are insignificant and unimportant. Help us grow in our awareness of what it means to be created in your image. Shape the way we treat creation, others, and ourselves so that we can live caring lives that acknowledge the lordship of Christ Jesus over all creation. Amen.
Our Father in Heaven,
we hold your name in the highest regard.
Please come and establish your reign here on earth
so that everything that happens here will align
with what is happening in heaven.
and we’ll forgive those who have wronged us.
Shield us from the trials and temptations that come our way.
Lastly, we pray that you will protect us from all forms of evil. Amen.
