Jesus came to reveal God to us, including what He knows. He made an astonishing announcement that must have dropped the jaws of every one of His listeners.
He revealed the
Father knows where every sparrow in the
entire world is right now (Matt. 10:29). Jesus then added another mind-boggling
statement, “Indeed, the very hairs
of your head are all numbered” (Luke 12:7).
Although the number of hairs on a person’s head varies from one individual to another, the average is 100,000. Most people shed about 100 hairs a day, and since the world’s population world increases by 200,000 each day, the total number of hairs on the planet is in constant fluctuation.
The world’s population is approximately 8.2 billion people. If we multiply 8,200,000,000 X 100,000 hairs, we find that God is keeping track of 820 trillion hairs on people’s heads! And that is not counting the beards and unshaven legs. We would never have known this incredible fact about God’s knowledge if Jesus had not revealed it to us.
Why did Jesus tell us our hairs are numbered? It’s to make a point. He knew that faith is determined by our concept of God. Those with “little faith” don’t believe God is all-knowing or all-powerful. Jesus gave us more information about God’s UNLIMITED knowledge so it will expand our concept of God and His ability. God “is able to do above and beyond all that we ask or think” (Eph. 3:19).
Since God knows the smallest details about everyone in the world, don’t you think it would be wise to completely surrender your life to Him?
