The very hairs of your head are all numbered.—Matt. 10:30.

The average human head has about 100,000 strands of hair. For the most part, one hair seems just like the next, and no single hair seems to deserve our particular scrutiny. Yet, each hair is noticed and numbered by Jehovah God. Since this is the case, is there any detail of our life that Jehovah cannot know? Surely Jehovah understands the unique makeup of each of his servants. Indeed, he “sees what the heart is.” (1 Sam. 16:7) David, who was no stranger to hardship, was confident that Jehovah noticed him. “O Jehovah, you have searched through me, and you know me,” he wrote. “You yourself have come to know my sitting down and my rising up. You have considered my thought from far off.” (Ps. 139:1, 2) You too can be certain that Jehovah knows you personally. (Jer. 17:10) Do not be quick to assume that you are too insignificant to be noticed by Jehovah! w 8/1/05 10, 11

Good morning everyone,

Well so much for my 1-2 month break. I guess it was more like two weeks :wave: Nevertheless I still spent lots of time with Jehovah in his Word and have found a way to be better balanced with time on the computer and personal study.

I found todays text to be very comforting. Imagine, Jehovah knowing each little hair on our heads.

I find great comfort in the fact that Jehovah is the one searching through us and Jehovah is the one who really knows everything about us. Just think about that, the ability to READ OUR MINDS AND KNOW OUR MOST PERSONAL AND INTIMATE THOUGHTS.

Well now, there is no point in hiding a thing from our Father or try to cover anything up, or present ourselves as something other than what we really are. JEHOVAH ALREADY KNOWS WHO AND WHAT WE ARE. Could be good or could be frightening depends on what we really are deep down inside. Lots of food for thought don't you think?

Sure gives me cause for pause and self examination of my way of life and my thinking.

I looked up Jeremiah 17:10 in the NIV and it said a great deal to me.

"I the Lord search the HEART
and examine the MIND
to REWARD a man according to his CONDUCT
according to what his DEEDS DESERVE

May we all be living a life that will be rewarded for doing deeds deserving of Jehovah's blessings and promises and most of all A LIFE THAT SHOWS WE TRULY APPRECIATE WHAT JEHOVAH AND JESUS CHRIST HAVE DONE FOR US AS WE REMEMBER THE IMPORTANCE OF WHAT THE MEMORIAL REALLY MEANS.

HOLD ON TIGHT AND DON'T LET GO OKEY DOKEY.
