“Who has measured the waters in the hollow of His hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance” (Isaiah 40:12).

Family devotions were finished, and the older children got up and left the family room. Joni snuggled just a little longer with Mommy and Daddy. Even though she was only four years old, family devotions were her favorite part of the day. She loved to listen to her daddy read the Bible and she enjoyed being part of the family prayer time. Several times she made a couple of her older brothers giggle with some of the things she prayed. But tonight no one giggled when in her childlike faith she prayed, “Dear God, I know You are bigger than my tricycle. I know You are even bigger than my room. Dear God, You are even bigger than my house. Thank you for being so big!” and then her little prayer time went on in various directions to the point where Daddy had to tap her knee and she promptly concluded her prayer. After some snuggle time, Joni was off to her room to get ready for bed. Her daddy, David, lingered for a few moments and remembered reading the words of Isaiah 40:12 a few days ago in his personal Bible reading time. This verse describes the awesome immensity and the vastness of our God. Truly our God is awesome not only in what He does but also in Who He is.

For today: If He can do the things mentioned in Isaiah 40:12, He can surely take care of us today.
