God Cares

While in the grocery store one day, I commented to my favorite clerk that her hair looked different that day.
As she rang up my purchases on her cash register, she quipped, "Honey, my hair color is whatever is on sale this week!"

Although that happened years ago, I still remember her each time I read Matthew 10:29-31: "29) Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father's care. 30) And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31) So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows." (NIV).
When our Sunday School teacher referred to that passage later during our lesson one week, he said, "God even knows the number of hairs on your head."
At that moment, a class member in the back of the large room spoke up and added, "And He knows the color of them, too!"

Most of us may not confide such intimate details to our closest friends, let alone to casual acquaintances. However, God is so intimately involved with each of us that He knows even how many hairs are on our heads, no matter how many times a day that number changes! And, yes, He even knows the color of them regardless of what we do to them. That means that God cares enough about us that He knows even the smallest detail of our lives.
Not everyone thinks that dying one's hair is acceptable. My husband's grandmother thought it was shameful to artificially color one's hair because she thought it was a form of lying. But is it? Like polishing one's shoes to cover up scuff marks, renewing one's hair color may be regarded as an effort to look one's best. When we do that, others are more likely to listen to us when we speak to them of spiritual matters.
Prayer: Thank You, dear Lord, that You care about every detail of our lives, even to the number and color of hairs on our heads. In the name of Jesus, amen.
