Reflect today on these basic truths of perfect consciousness of God

Aren't two sparrows sold for a small coin? Yet none of them fall to the ground without your Father's knowledge. All head hair is also counted. So don't be afraid; worth more than many sparrows. "Matthew 10: 29-31

It is comforting to know that the Almighty God of the Universe knows every detail of our life and is deeply concerned about every single detail. He knows us infinitely better than we know ourselves and loves each of us more deeply than we could ever love ourselves. These facts should give us much peace.

Imagine the truth contained in this scripture above. God also knows how much hair we have on our heads! This is stated as a way to emphasize the depth of intimacy with which God knows us.

When we can achieve the perfect knowledge of us of the Father AND his perfect love for us, we will be able to put our complete trust in Him. Trust in God is possible only when we understand who we trust. And when we begin to understand more fully who God is and how much he takes care of every detail of our life, we will more easily entrust those details to him, allowing him to take control of everyone.

Reflect today on these basic truths of God's perfect knowledge of us and his perfect love. Sit down with those truths and meditate. As you do so, allow them to become the basis of an invitation from God to let go of your control of life in favor of His control. Try to perform an act of total surrender to him and you will begin to discover the freedom that derives from this surrender.

Father in heaven, I thank you for your perfect knowledge of every detail of my life. I also thank you for your perfect love. Help me to trust in this love and to trust in your daily invitation to surrender everything. I give up my life, dear Lord. Help me to surrender more fully on this day. Jesus I believe in you.
