Nothing too trivial

(Octavius Winslow)

“And even the very hairs of your head are all
numbered.”
 Matthew 10:30

Christ thus teaches us that our Heavenly FatherNothing too trivial
takes cognizance of the minutest events and
circumstances of our individual history; and that
there is nothing too trivial or common to be
beneath His interest and control.

And thus, although the heaven and heaven of
heavens cannot contain Him, yet He seeks a
dwelling place amid the sighs and groans and
desires
 of a humble, broken, and contrite heart.

And all the interests of that heart; its . . .
faintest desire,
gentlest sigh,
softest prayer,
are entwined with the purposes, thoughts,
and affections of His heart.

Our heavenly Father is concerned with the most
infinitesimal event and incident of our history!

“And even the very hairs of your head are all
numbered.”
 Matthew 10:30

Our Heavenly Father is concerned…

The possession of Christ explains it! He who
has Christ in him, and Christ with him, and the
hope of being forever with Christ in glory, is not
a poor, nor a sorrowful, nor a suffering, nor a
lone man. He can say, “I am not alone, for my
Father is with me. I am not poor, for all things
are mine. My body is diseased, but my soul is
in health. I have all and abound.”

(Newman Hall, “Leaves of Healing
from the Garden of Grief” 1891)

Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him.”
Psalm 37:7

For salvation, we may rest on His atonement.

In all our weakness, we may rest on His strength;

our sorrow, we may rest on His sympathy;

In perplexity, we may rest on His guidance;

our need, we may rest on His help;

and danger, we may rest on His deliverance.

Rest in the Lord, and wait patiently for Him.”
