For the very hairs of your head are all numbered (Matt. 10:30). Yeshua was not using poetic exaggeration here, but instead affirmed that Gods wisdom and knowledge is so vast that it pervades and encompasses all things (including things about ourselves we do not see or understand). Gods providence descends to the subatomic dust and ascends to the massive orbs and stars that sweep through the heavens. There is no realm – no possible world – nothing above, below, or around you – that is beyond Gods sustaining power and will. All that was, is, and ever shall be is forever under Gods sovereign authority, and he rules over all things for his glory and good. There is no chance or coincidence in Gods universe; nothing is beyond his reach and purposive design. Therefore we can remain at peace even in the midst of the worlds turmoil and storms: God is always here, always working for your ultimate healing and good. He is your refuge and strength, a very present help in trouble (עֶזְרָה בְצָרוֹת נִמְצָא מְאד). Therefore we will not fear, though the earth gives way, though the mountains be moved into the heart of the sea, though its waters roar and foam, though the mountains tremble at its swelling. Selah.
