God Notices!

Nothing happens either good or bad on this earth that is not in God's sight. It is absolutely critical that we understand how God notices our lives. Henry Blackaby - Created to be God's Friend

That is such an amazing thought, and I think we/I tend to just read over it. Like, "Of course, God notices our lives. La-la-la-la-la."

This means that the God of all there is, the God who is concerned and in control of the movement of the planets and alignment of the stars, is concerned and notices my life! Me, Evelyn Nobody. (Not trying to put myself down here, just recognizing the fact that in the broader scope of things, I am really not that significant.) In the billions of folks all over this world and down through the ages, God notices me.

I remember the showdown between Elijah and the prophets of Baal. They were going through all their gyrations trying to get their "god" to answer them. (And can you just imagine what was going on in the spiritual realm? God was preventing Baal from responding! Yay, God! Like had him hog-tied and gagged or something!) To get Baal's attention, they would have to cut themselves and cry out and carry on.

My life is noticed by God! Your life is noticed by God! And I will go beyond that, I will say that your life is precious to God!! Your life is not just a blip on His radar, your life matters to Him, is precious. And God knows all about you, knows all that you are doing and all that you are facing. He knows, He cares, AND He is able to meet your needs!

Love,
Ev


One thing have I desired and that will I seek, that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life to behold the beauty of the Lord and to enquire in His tablernacle. Psalm 27:4

  1. I'm so glad to see you back in bloggy land Ev! I love Henry Blackaby and love this reminder that God notices.

    One thing I've been learning lately is that the more I submit and yield myself to God, He can then use me as His vessel for His purposes. It's not about me but about Him. He works in and through me and I get the privilege to participate. How cool is that?

    Blessings to you,
    Debbie
