A Grain of Sand

Psalm 144:3-4
I was out wandering through the desert again today enjoying God's creation and was thinking about how small I am, especially when standing next to a saguaro. It just so happened as I was driving around Saguaro NP the song "More," by Matthew West, came on KLOVE which was just perfect timing since it speaks about how God loves each of us despite our size in his creation. This park has so many rocks, so many grains of sand, and even millions of saguaro cactus and there in the midst of this wilderness is little ol' me. God's love for us is amazing, he gives us special attention even though we are so small and he is eternal. In fact, our years are even small compared to a saguaro which lives about 200 years and rocks and sand are always there! Praise God that he wanted to maintain a relationship with us badly enough to send his own Son to die just so we could keep that relationship.

O Lord, what are human beings that you should notice them,
mere mortals that you should think about them?
For they are like a breath of air;
their days are like a passing shadow (NLT).

No matter how insignificant you think you are, even if you feel that no one could possibly care for you, know that you are loved "more than you can imagine, more than you can fathom." You are noticed and loved by God, there's no escaping him. Your place in this world and in God's story is important. There is no one like you!
