How Majestic Is Our God!

He counts the number of the stars; He calls them all by name. Great is our LORD, and mighty in power; His understanding is infinite. (Psalm 147:4-5)

Have you ever wondered how out of the billions of people on planet Earth God hears everyone’s thoughts and prayers at the same time and understands them individually? It would truly take a Being so Sentient He would have to be on the level of Majestic. He is that and beyond. He created the stars by command alone and calls them all by name (Genesis 1:1, 1:16). I was curious as to how many stars there are. It is estimated their number could equal 600 quadrillion! You could go to the other side of the universe and ask, “What’s that one’s name?” Out of those millions of points of light He wouldn’t need to ask which one you meant. That’s Majestic.

He knows everything about everything down to the number of cells in the bodies of everyone on earth, and down to the numbers of hairs on their heads. He’s never lost, confused or suffers a senior moment.

We all, at times, wonder if God hears us, or if He’s even listening. We might feel unimportant, or even abandoned. We can be assured of His fidelity. The stars served as a reminder to Abraham of the promise of his offspring (Genesis 26:4) and God’s faithful attention to Abraham’s every detail. Looking up into just his own Milky Way Abraham could not fully count them all.

God is not conditional in His love and interest in who you are. You mattered enough to send His only Begotten Son that if you believed on Him, you would gain salvation and eternal life (John 3:16).

Jesus said no sparrow falls without the Father’s will and knowledge and you, being made in His image, how much more of value are you than those?

He never sleeps, slumbers, or dozes. He sees all and knows all. He hears your every prayer and knows your every thought. He’s aware of these things right now, and since He is eternal, He has had all your problems, worries, hopes and dreams in mind, forever. How Majestic is our God!

God counts hairs, He doesn’t split them. A God who can remember 600 quadrillion names with ease would have no problem remembering yours. In all He has going and with all He holds together by His power, He’s still got your number. He’s still got your name. You’re that special. His understanding is infinite. He’s That Majestic!
