I have an amazing ability to lose my keys.  This is something that I have always done.  At our house we have the sterotypical key-holding-thingy that we can hang our keys on, but I guess mine just get up and walk away in the middle of the night.  It always seems like when I lose them, my wife is sleeping and I have to wake her up to help me find them.  I have found them in all sorts of places:  the refrigerator, my door, my sock drawer, and even in the sink.  They are nearly alwasy misplaced.

Isaiah 40: 26 says, “Lift up your eyes and look to the heavens: Who created all these?  He who brings out the starry host one by one, and calls them each by name. Because of his great power and mighty strength, not one of them is missing.”

There is an estimated 10 billion stars in the sky.  That’s just mind boggeling to think of.  The amazing thing is that God knows them all by name and none of them is missing.  How awesome is that?

I come across so many people who feel insignificant.  They don’t feel like they are important.  They feel like God does not care.  They feel like God didn’t put them up on that key-holding-thingy.  Here’s the thing:  God knows who you are and he cares for you more than you can fathom.  You are not misplaced like a set of keys.

Take comfort that the creator of the universe will not and has not ever misplaced you.  You are way too valuable for Him to do that.
