A Couple Of Glimpses At God's Greatness

These are a couple of glimpses of God's greatness. I saw these years ago, and now is the time for me to give others a peek.

OUR HAIRS ARE NUMBERED, BUT...

"But the very hairs of your head are all numbered." Matt. 10:30 NASB

Every hair on your head is numbered. I believe all the hairs on our bodies are numbered. God has assigned a number to each one.

Jesus said that every hair is numbered, but He didn't say they were counted.

I don't think that the Father was just sitting around in heaven one day, bored with nothing to do, so he decided to count the hairs on my head. He didn't have to send Jesus or the Holy Spirit or an angel to inventory my hair. He already knew!

Our hairs are numbered, BUT NOT COUNTED!!

God knows not only how many hairs we have, but He knows the position of each hair, and He knows right to the femtosecond when each hair formed. He knows how long each hair is, how straight or curly it is. He knows when each hair is cut, dyed, or shampooed. He knows how many cells are in each hair. He knows how many molecules, atoms, electrons, protons, and nuetrons are in each hair. He not only knows this about our hair, He knows this about every part of us!

The Heisenberg uncertainty principle tells us that, the more you know the position of a particle (electron, proton, nutron, etc.), the less you can know about its velocity, and the more you know about the velocity of a particle, the less you can know about its instantaneous position. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uncertainty_principle) This is something man can't know, but God does!

God not only knows our quirks, He knows our quarks!


THE ANGEL AND THE STONE ON RESURRECTION MORNING

Now after the Sabbath, as it began to dawn toward the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary came to look at the grave. And behold, a severe earthquake had occurred, for an angel of the Lord descended from heaven and came and rolled away the stone and sat upon it. And his appearance was like lightning, and his clothing as white as snow. The guards shook for fear of him and became like dead men. The angel said to the women, "Do not be afraid; for I know that you are looking for Jesus who has been crucified. He is not here, for He has risen, just as He said. Come, see the place where He was lying."
Matt. 28:1-6 NASB

I have heard song lyrics that say the stone was rolled away, and Jesus came walking out of the tomb, or the stone had to be rolled away to let Jesus out of the tomb. But that is not the sequence the Bible presents.

The angel appeared and rolled the stone away from the entrance to the tomb. Then, he sat on the stone and told the women that Jesus wasn't in the tomb. Jesus didn't need the stone rolled away before He could leave the tomb. He had already left the tomb before the angel appeared!

The angel rolled the stone away, not to let Jesus out of the tomb, but to let us in so we can see for ourselves that JESUS IS RISEN FROM THE DEAD!
