Many years back, J.B. Phillips wrote a phenomenal book entitled, Your God is Too Small. It is a classic, a masterpiece. He point out how all of us vastly underestimate the power, might, and magnificence of the Lord Almighty. But I wonder whether we suffer from an equally damaging error. Perhaps our God is too big, too impersonal. We may not be able to imagine (because it is almost unimaginable) that the God of the universe might possibly know our minutiae or care about our niggling problems. Yet time and time again in the Bible we are taught that nothing is too micro for God. He knows the exact number of hairs on our head (Matt 10:30). He lists our tears in His scroll (Ps 56:8). He knit us together in our mother’s womb,…all our days were ordained before one of then came to be (Ps 139: 13,16). David continues, “Such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too lofty for me to attain.” (Ps 139:6)
What does this have to do with me, with you? If no detail is too small for God, no circumstance so insignificant that He does not care, then we can afford to cast our worries on Him. He doesn’t sleep on the job (Ps 121:3-4). There isn’t any problem that you or I have that is meaningless to Him and no request that we lift up is too big for Him to handle. We may not always understand His ways, but faith embraces that God knows our thoughts before they enter our mind and is always at work for our good.
Meditate on these truths. Then fling your worries, your fears, your grief, your sadness on the God of all power and all comfort.
