Do You Remember Me?

Oh do Lord, oh do Lord
Oh do you remember me?
Oh do Lord, oh do Lord
Oh do you remember me?
Do Lord, oh do Lord
Oh do you remember me?
Way beyond the blue

 

Lyrics: Way Beyond the Blue

 

Do you ever wonder...or maybe even doubt, with all the million and one things going on in this world...how does God remember little old you?  I have to admit, sometimes I do. It's almost like....REALLY you have it pretty good....God has a lot of other important "stuff" to be dealing with.

At times I hate to admit I feel that way about prayer. When some small thing is upsetting me or even a larger thing but nothing "earth shattering" I almost feel like I need to apologize to God if I pray about it.

 

"Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? And not one of them will fall to the ground apart from your Father. But even the hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not, therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows."  Matthew 10:29-31 

 

 

 

"Are not five sparrows sold for two pennies? And not one of them is forgotten before God."   

Luke 12:6

 

It's at times like that I am reminded of the "sparrow" Bible verses. For if God cares and knows the lowly sparrow then God knows me. It is hard to really comprehend this because we are stuck in "worldly" thinking but God is "heavenly". What seems overwhelming here to us as mere humans is manageable under God's careful guidance.

 

God doesn't want to know us only when we have something BIG....He wants to be a part of daily life with all the little ups and downs. I have to tell myself that's it's ok to pray about anything at anytime. I can trust God to sort it all out and decide what needs immediate action and what doesn't!

Hugs and hope to each of you!
