He Sees

One night, not too long ago, I was reading to the girls at bedtime about the vastness of God's creation. I really can't remember what we were reading, but it prompted lots of questions--many of which I couldn't answer--still, it was great to see their minds whirling around as they pondered how enormous the universe must be.

Finally, Ashlyn asked, "Mommy, if God is so big, and the universe is so huge, then how does He see us?" Another question that I couldn't answer very well, except to say that He promises that He does. She was fine with that.

A few days later, I was reading in Psalms, and I came across this scripture:

The Lord looks from heaven; He sees all the sons of men

From His dwelling place He looks out

On all the inhabitants of the earth,

He who fashions the hearts of them all,

He who understands all their works.

(Psalm 33:13:15)

I couldn't wait to share that passage with Ashlyn, as a specific promise from the Lord that He sees us, He watches us, and He understands us because He created us. I thanked God for leading me to that Scripture!

I also loved how it says that He "fashioned us". He didn't randomly throw us together, but purposefully crafted us according to a unique design. How thrilled I was to be able to share that with my girls, for whom I pray every day will find their identity in Christ and not in superficial things of this world.

He sees us. He knows us. He loves us. And as huge as God is, He hasn't forgotten us. He has a plan for each of us, so we need not hesitate to trust Him.
