Does God Really Notice the Small Things?

Luke 21:18 - But there shall not an hair of your head perish

o   The context of this verse is the persecution and the murder of Christians. Jesus had just finished saying that some of you they shall put to death, and then he goes on to say that not a hair of your head shall perish. God’s concept and understanding of perishing must be different than ours. When he says not even one strand of hair will perish, then to him, no matter what comes, even death, that strand of hair still exists. I guess in the light of quantum physics and sub-atomic particles then we might be able to say that the hair does indeed still exist. In God’s view of things that physical part of you is still there. The resurrection of the physical body bears this out. The body could be in the grave for thousands of years completely decomposed, and yet when God says ‘be resurrected’, all the particles of the body will come back together to be joined and revived with life. Not a hair on the head of that body has perished. Of course he is using hair as an illustration of the smallest part that they could see, he might say if he were speaking to us today that not one cell or molecule of your body shall perish. It might have left this physical realm and naturally speaking has perished but it has not ceased to exist from God’s perspective. Whoever believes in Jesus shall not perish but have everlasting life. That word ‘shall not perish’ goes right through and pervades our entire being, spirit, soul and body, not one aspect of my being shall ever perish. It is such a powerful thought to understand that God cares for the tiniest things. He cares about that one hair, so to speak. He is a God of amazing detail; he is a master designer that values every minute part of his creation. Truly, if we were to say it right, there are no miniscule matters with God. If he created it, then it matters, it cannot be small. The God of the Universe has created every aspect of me and every characteristic of my personality and life and therefore it teems with significance. He is the Creator who has created every facet of my make-up. Just as a manufacturer creates each part with a purpose, so every part in me has particular purpose. Do not believe the lie that insists on your life being meaningless and without eternal purpose and destiny. No! You don’t have to search for significance because by virtue of your existence you already are infinitely significant. Not one hair of your head shall perish!
