My devotional at Faith Lifts today...
“The very hairs on your head are numbered” Matthew 10:30. Standing over the trashcan, pulling hair out of my hairbrush, these words of Jesus ran through my mind. The God of all the universe knew when each of these hairs fell out and the number left behind.
More than that, He is able to go beyond the recesses of our hair follicles. Before there is a word on my tongue, He knows it (Psalm 139:4).
Conviction over lack of surrendering every detail of my life to an all-knowing God swept over me. How can we neglect the most amazing resource known to man? So easily we ask a friend for advice. Some even turn to Dr. Phil or self-help books.
What an intimate God we serve who knows every hair and idle thought. He longs for us to seek Him. And ye shall seek me, and find [me], when ye shall search for me with all your heart (Jeremiah 29:13).
Ask the omniscient Father who knows all. Search out answer in His word, for it is a lamp to your feet and a light to your path. If He knows the number of hairs on your head, how much more does He know the problems and questions that you are dealing with in your life?

I LOVE that we serve a God of details. Even the smallest things are of concern to Him.
Not everyone who stands over a trashcan cleaning out a hairbrush would hear from the Holy Spirit as you have, Angie. A heart set on the Lord will though. I love how the Lord spoke to you in your everyday experience and how you had ears to hear. And I love that you shared this reality with all of us.
Wonderful devotional from our daily life...That's where it counts.
You blog is always a blessing!
Lots of Love

I love Psalm 139:4. When I hear people say. "I could say something but I will keep it to myself" I reply: "It's too late, God already knows. Great post.
Thanks Angie. He did make us after all. Take it to the Lord in prayer....
This I Do...
Great thoughts Angie. I like how you said, "How can we neglect the most amazing resource known to man?"
Sometimes we turn everywhere but to the One who knows best. Oh that we would bring our needs, our hurts, our everything to Jesus.
Have a great day my friend :)
