God: Bigger Than You Imagine, Closer Than You Feel

``Don't miss that out. Don't miss that. God isn't just concerned with the four that you paid for. He's concerned with all five that you have. That's how much God cares about us as individuals. Not one person goes to sleep without God being aware. Not one person wakes up without God being aware. So much so that it says that he's numbered all of our head. Listen. The God who knows the names of the stars and who calls them out by name, it says in scripture, also knows the numbers of your hair. [00:43:29] (42 seconds)  #GodCountsEveryHair

Would you just this week commit to slow down enough to just notice God? To notice God as you look up in the skies. To notice God as you wake up. And right now as you've taken hundreds and thousands of breaths in your body without even thinking. The fact that right now the earth has been moving at a pace and a and in an orbit that should throw us off of it. But yet God put it in perfect axis and in perfect orbit where we stay pointed on the ground. Aren't you thankful for that? That is the goodness of God and the perf and the beautiful miracle of his who he is, that we will become this week less distracted, more aware that God is speaking even while we're scrolling.

And God's closer than we feel because sometimes we're not gonna feel God closely. It may be during the dark night of the soul, and there will be dark nights. Don't let me sell you a false gospel that thinks if you just come to Jesus, everything becomes roses and rainbows. The good news is is when we come to Jesus, we get Jesus, and he's close, closer than a brother. And that's the hope we have in him. He's close. That's why listen. He sees the sparrows. He knows your details, and he knows you're not lost in a crowd to God. [00:48:51] (41 seconds)  #GodCloserThanYouThink

But that's who God is. Listen. The creation doesn't even say a word, and yet it speaks. It has a voice. And that is how powerful and how magnificent the creation of God is that it declares his glory day after day without even opening its mouth. Literally, the heavens are are speaking of God's glory. The message of God's glory is going forth day and night, night and day, throughout the earth, and through all the galaxies. That's how great and how big God is. Listen. He's bigger than you think. He's larger than you can comprehend and more powerful than you even realize. Even in our highest, I believe, state of mind, we can't even grasp fully how big God is and how great he is.

We see five sparrows. It's interesting. And I think what he's saying here in this passage that I think we need to kinda just rest on and understand that's gonna take us into this part is that we would get that, hey. Probably for this person who's buying the sparrows and who's selling the sparrows, two coins would have bought you how many? Four. But what they saw the fifth sparrow is is just something to throw it in. It's almost like trash or just something that really has zero to no value. Something that would be thrown away, but yet the interesting thing, Who is aware of even the fifth sparrow? [00:42:44] (45 seconds)  #EvenTheFifthSparrow

Because the truth is if God knows every detail, he can handle every detail. He's close enough. He's big enough to hold the universe, but close enough and near enough to hold you. So this week, every time that you feel anxious, fearful, maybe unseen, or even overlooked, would you just say to yourself, God sees me? You may need that as a gospel message for you this week. [00:53:56] (40 seconds)  #GodSeesEveryDetail

Where do you feel unseen right now? Is it in your struggle? Maybe in your waiting that you feel like you've been waiting and waiting and waiting, and you prayed, and you've asked God, and you're waiting and you're waiting and you're waiting. Maybe you're pain. Maybe you're going through something today. Maybe nobody else knows about it, but you. Maybe it's in the anxiety or the depression. Maybe it's in the disappointment. God sees that too. God sees that too. [00:57:00] (45 seconds)  #SeenInStruggle

That God sees me in the midst of my struggle, in the midst of my anxiety, in the midst of the depression, or what feels like a hopeless situation, in the middle of all the details that I'm trying to just keep the ball spinning and the plates going, that he sees me. And some of us, as we're here today, considering all the things that we've walked in with, You don't doubt God's real. Your doubt may be that, is he really paying attention? And today, I wanna remind you that God sees you. [00:55:21] (44 seconds)  #GodIsPayingAttention
