Bible Reading: Psalms 104:24-31; 145:14-21; 1 Peter 5:7

“How was the campout?” asked Cole’s mom at breakfast the next morning.

“Great!” Cole said. “I think we ate three pounds of hot dogs.”

Ethan laughed. “And two pounds of marshmallows.”

“You sure had a beautiful night for sleeping under the stars,” Mom said.

“Yeah,” said Cole. “Made us think about God a lot.”

“Thinking about the whole universe made me feel pretty small,” said Ethan.

Mom smiled. “I know what you mean. It’s good to think about how great God is, but it’s also important to remember that He’s interested in little things. Actually, the fact that He’s interested in small things as well as big ones really emphasizes His greatness.” She turned to Cole. “Have you shown Ethan the microscope you got for your birthday?”

“Yeah, he did. It’s cool!” said Ethan. “Let’s go use it, Cole.”

“Okay,” Cole replied, and the boys hurried off.

As Ethan peered through the lens a little later, he saw what appeared to be a giant horned monster. “Ew! What is that thing?”

“A flea.” Cole laughed. “I got it off my dog.”

Ethan took another look. “I didn’t know fleas had all those horns and claws. Let’s find some other things to look at.” Soon the boys had examined an ant, a leaf stem,

a worm, and parts of a flower. “Cool!” Ethan said as he looked at a drop of water they had taken from a puddle.

“Wow!” exclaimed Cole when Ethan moved over so he could peer into the lens. The boys were amazed at all the tiny creatures they found swimming in the water. “There must be billions of these microscopic things all over the world, and we never see them,” said Cole.

Mom spoke from the doorway. “Even though no one sees those little creatures, each one was created by God in a special way. And He sees and knows each one of us too, even when it seems like no one else does. He created each of us and loves us so much He sent His Son, Jesus, to die for us. Even though we may feel small sometimes, we’re very important to God, and He cares about every detail

of our lives.”

-Sherry L. Kuyt

How About You?

Do you realize that God cares about every little thing—even those too small for you to see? Do you realize He cares about you? He knows every detail of your life and has a purpose for you. God, the great Creator, loves you so much that He humbled Himself to be your Savior. You can bring any care or worry to Jesus, no matter how small it seems. Praise Him for His greatness and for the love and care He shows you each day.

Today’s Key Verse:
Psalm 145:21 My mouth will speak in praise of the Lord. Let every creature praise his holy name for ever and ever. (NIV)

Today’s Key Thought:
