Good morning,
When we are dealing with adversity, it is nice to know that God cares and does not forget us. He comforts, loves, heals, and encourages us.
I trust this devotional will be a blessing to you.
He who counts the stars!
(Charles Spurgeon)
“He heals the brokenhearted, binding up their wounds. He counts the stars and calls them all by name. How great is our Lord! His power is absolute! His understanding is beyond comprehension!” Psalm 147:3-5
He who counts the stars and calls them by their names, is in no danger of forgetting His own children! He knows your case as thoroughly as if you were the only creature He ever made, or the only saint He ever loved!
It is most important for us to learn, that the smallest trifles are as much arranged by the God of Providence, as the most startling events. He who counts the stars–has also numbered the hairs of our heads. Our lives and deaths are predestined–but so, also, are our sitting down and our rising up!
“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground apart from the will of your Father. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered!” Matthew 10:29-30

Consider the greatness of God. Consider who He is, what He has done, and how He has impacted your life.
Then thank Him.
