Does God care about the little things that happen in my life?

By Noel Omukubi

Yes he does!  Consider the following scriptures:

Luke 12:7 says, “Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”

Matthew 6:26 says, “Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they?” If God even meets the needs of birds who are not made in His image, who have no will to choose Him or reject Him, how much more will he care for your needs in detail? Because of God’s love, you can trust Him: “Your Father knows what you need before you ask him” (Matthew 6:8).

God not only cares about every little detail of your life, he cares for you and wants to know who you are, more so, he wants you to know him. Because once you know him then you will know yourself.  You will realise that God has always cared about you. Can you count the number of hairs on your head? Yet God knows how many they are. Can you tell how your day will turn out? You don’t yet God knows every path you will walk and he says that his word is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path. Do you know when you will get sick? No, yet God has already healed you since by his stripes you are healed. Do you know what your future holds? No, yet God says he knows the plans he has for you, plans to prosper you and not to harm you, to give you a future and a hope. Even when you are faced with danger, he says he shall deliver you from the snare of the fowler and from the perilous pestilence. He shall cover you with His feathers, and under His wings you shall take refuge; His truth shall be your shield and buckler. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, Nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that lays waste at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it shall not come near you. Only with your eyes shall you look, and see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the Lord, who is my refuge, Even the Most High, your dwelling place,
No evil shall befall you, Nor shall any plague come near your dwelling;
For He shall give His angels charge over you, To keep you in all your ways. In their hands they shall bear you up, lest you dash your foot against a stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the cobra, the young lion and the serpent you shall trample underfoot. “

What is it that God does not know about you that he has not taken care of? Jesus became poor that you may be rich. He knew that poverty would look for you so he took care of it in advance that you may enjoy abundance. What about your sin nature, he knew that the only way to restore your relationship with him that had been lost through sin would be if he took it upon himself. That is why he says that while you were still a sinner, Christ died for you. You now have assurance of eternal life because of Jesus. God knows every little detail of your life, every storm you go through he is there with you. He says that when the enemy comes in like a flood, God raises a standard. A standard to shield you, to raise you up above the raging storm that seeks to hurt you in then he hides you under the shadow of his wings where the enemy cannot find you. What is it that he cannot do for you? He knows you very well and he loves you sincerely.
