“God is not too great to notice you, but He is too great to overlook you.” - Ray Ortlund

He upholds the universe by the word of His power and is acquainted with all our ways (Heb 1:3, Ps 139:3).  

He established the foundations of the world and knit every person together in the womb of their mother(Ps 104:5, Ps 139:13).  

He has numbered and named the stars and knows every hair on our heads (Ps 147:4, Luke 12:7).  

He holds the water of every ocean in the palm of His hand and knows every word before it is uttered (Is 40:12, Ps 139:4).  

He dwells in unapproachable light, and He knows even the hidden corners of our or hearts (1 Tim 6:16, Heb 4:13).

We are kept by the One who does not slumber or sleep (Ps 121:3).  The One who is not too great to notice, but too great to overlook.

Lord, may we be reminded of your transcendence and your immanence.  Your holiness and Your nearness to sinners.  May our lives be marked by both realities.  Amen.
