In a moment of clarity–or desperation–mom took things into her own hands. She clipped, trimmed, and stood back to view her work. There before her stood four little boys–each with a numeral cut into his hair. Nobody would mistake number one for number four! No more mistaken identities or unfair disciplinary action.
The story was amusing, but I was reminded of God’s involvement in the lives of those He created. Friend, He never mistakes one of His children for another. Scripture affirms His attention to your every thought and need–even to the very number of hairs on your head. You are His distinctive, beloved child and He rejoices when He thinks of you.
Scripture for Reflection
O Lord, you have searched me and you know me. 2 You know when I sit and when I rise; you perceive my thoughts from afar. 3 You discern my going out and my lying down; you are familiar with all my ways. 4 Before a word is on my tongue you know it completely,O Lord.
Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. (Luke 12:7)
