This morning’s men’s prayer meeting began with Psalm 147. The following verses caught my eye:
“The Lord builds up Jerusalem;
He gathers together the outcasts of Israel.
He heals the brokenhearted
And binds up their wounds.
He counts the number of the stars;
He calls them all by name.
Great is our Lord, and mighty in power;
His understanding is infinite.”
—Psalm 147:2-5
What got my attention was the juxtaposition of verses and 3 and 4: “He heals the brokenhearted and binds up their wounds. He counts the number of the stars and calls them by name.” From the most humble to an almost infinite magnitude, God cares for every detail. No matter how lowly the person, how tiny the concern, nor how great the issue, God knows intimately and completely. No wonder the psalmist says, “Great is our Lord and mighty in power; his understanding is infinite!”
I am grateful tonight to know God hears the prayers of the most humble, the weakest and vulnerable, but has also his hand on the most momentous of earthly matters. I needn’t worry about tomorrow. God knows, and cares.
