I can remember being at the fair or in Sunday School when someone would have filled a large jar with jelly beans or even candy corn. There would be a contest to see who could guess how many beans were in the jar. The one who guessed the nearest to the correct number would win a prize.
I can also remember playing with the sand at the beach and being completely amazed at the amount of sand on the beach and even in the world.
It is amazing to think that while it is silly for us to imagine knowing the exact number of sand on a beach, beans in a jar, stars in the sky, birds in the air, or even hairs on your head......God knows the EXACT number!
"And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered."
(Matthew 10:30)
So is God trying to show that He is obsessive compulsive, or just extremely organized? Probably not...
What it all boils down to is that God loves you so much that he knows every detail of your life and was so intentional about creating you, for a purpose, that he knows the very number of hairs on your head.
Not only did God create you, He created you in His own image!
Not only did God create you, He created you for a specific purpose!
So the next time you hold a hand full of sand or try to figure out the exact number of jelly beans in a jar, remember that God loves you so much that he knows the exact number of hairs on your head - - and that He knew long before you were ever knitted together in your mothers womb!
God has a specific and unique plan for your life!
Blessings!
