Praise God, (Yahweh, Sabaoth) The Lord of Hosts The word “hosts” means “hordes,” both of angels and of men. He is Lord of the host of heaven and of the inhabitants of the earth, of Jews and Gentiles, of rich and poor, master and slave. The name is expressive of the majesty, power, and authority of God and shows that He is able to accomplish what He determines to do. I was speaking to someone who is in need of prayer, they had the flu. I ask if I could pray for them, but before I began my prayer I told them about how God loves and cares for each and every one of us, individually. Well, this person had a hard time understanding how such a big God could care so much for just one ordinary person. I thought much about what this person said to me before I prayed for their healing. Then the Lord impressed Psalm 147 on my mind. So when I go home I looked up these verses. “He healeth the broken in heart, and bindeth up their wounds. He telleth the number of the stars; he calleth them all by their names. Great is our Lord, and of great power: his understanding is infinite. The LORD lifteth up the meek: he casteth the wicked down to the ground. Sing unto the LORD with thanksgiving; sing praise upon the harp unto our God: Who covereth the heaven with clouds, who prepareth rain for the earth, who maketh grass to grow upon the mountains. He giveth to the beast his food, and to the young ravens which cry. He delighteth not in the strength of the horse: he taketh not pleasure in the legs of a man. The LORD taketh pleasure in them that fear him, in those that hope in his mercy.” (Psalm 147:3-11) As the Word of God filled my heart and mind, I thought about the incredibly incomparable reach of God. Hes able to identify and take time for a single broken heart, and yet Hes also able to catalog each and every star in the universe. You know in many ways its easier for us to believe God is involved in those big things, like all the stars of the universe, than it is to believe Hes involved in the small things, like you and I. Now just think about what the Word of God tells us. God who oversees the universe is the same God who cares about the brokenhearted. “Nothing,” is too big for Him and nothing is too small for Him, including us. The same attentiveness that God gives to the constellations is the same attentiveness He has for us? In fact, God is even more attentive to us because Hes invested way more in us than in the universe. He sent His own Son to suffer and die for us, not the stars. Scripture is quite clear that God values men and women above all else in His creation. So we should never think of ourselves as beyond the reach of Gods attention and care, or consider our problems or our pain as too insignificant for Him. We serve a big God who loves each and every one of us individually, Nothing is too big or too small for Yahweh, Sabaoth Loving You In Jesus Christ, Pastor David McGee
