God seems very big and man very small when you think about the immensity of the universe. So you may be tempted to ask yourself from time to time, "Self, does God really care about little ol' me?" The answer is a hands down YES!
God's Word says that He knows each hair on your head. We ARE important to God. We are called to glorify God and enjoy Him forever. Our small size simply shows how much we really need to trust in our almighty God. This is an outstanding quote by Petty, "We should not project onto God the qualities we desire. Rather, we ought to examine carefully what He has revealed about Himself and then base our lives on that."
God's guidance can be categorized as how God used to guide individuals in the Old Testament, such as how how led Abraham or Moses through more direct conversations. In the Psalms it talks about how God promised to guide and care for David, and those promises still hold true for us today.
After Christ came to Earth in the New Testament God promises to shepherd His people in grace and mercy not through thundering commands as He did in times of old. We are part of God's chosen people. After Christ rose again and return to heaven, He sent the Holy Spirit to help guide us. So now we no longer need a pillar of fire like in the days of Moses, because we have the Holy Spirit guiding us from within. This is now how God speaks to each of us in our day-to-day lives.
James 1:5 says, "If any of you lacks anything let him ask God who gives generously to all who ask."
So people, let's make it a point to ask God for guidance and trust that He is and will continue to guide us. Yay!
