“This morning, as I was heading out to the field to feed the birds, I came back toward the sidewalk and spotted the tiniest little snail—just as cute as ever—slowly making its way. I went back inside to grab my phone so I could zoom in and take a picture and video. About an hour later, I went out with my dog Benjamin, and that little snail still hadn’t made it far—but he was moving along at his own pace. Amen.

I wanted to pick him up and help him along, but I didn’t want to hurt him, so I left him alone. It’s funny how the Lord gives us something as simple as a snail to bless our hearts. That tiny little creature blessed mine this morning. Amen.

I stared at him and marveled at his design: the swirls on his shell, the shape of his little body, his delicate antennae. Amen. I started thinking about how much God cares for that tiny snail. Even in its making, He did an incredible and amazing job forming him. Amen.

Can you imagine how deeply the Lord loves us, His children? The time and effort He gives to each of us — day after day. Amen. He is always helping us, strengthening us, encouraging us, changing us, and loving on us—all while protecting us. Amen.

You see, God is so invested in us that He bottles our tears (Psalm 56:8), and He keeps track of all our sorrows. He numbers the very hairs on our heads (Luke 12:7). Amen. He chose to go to Calvary for you and for me so that we could have life, and life abundantly. Amen.

No matter how many times we call on Him, He is there for us. He doesn’t place us on hold. He doesn’t hang up. He doesn’t silence us. Amen. He simply listens—every word of our hearts, souls, troubles, problems. He never misses a single thing, for He even knows the words before they’re on our tongues (Psalm 139:4). Amen.

So I want to encourage us all this morning: if there is anything you need to talk about, anything to overcome, any healing, deliverance, forgiveness—you can come to Him. He is there for each of us. Amen. We are told to cast all our anxieties on Him, for He cares for us (1 Peter 5:7). We’re not to worry about our lives; rather, go to the Lord, and He will give you rest (Matthew 11:28–30). Commit your ways to the Lord and trust Him; He will act (Psalm 37:5). He says, “My peace I give to you” (John 14:27).

We’re told to keep our lives free from the love of money and to be content with what we have, for He has promised never to leave nor forsake us (Hebrews 13:5–6). David knew this well: the Lord is his Shepherd, and he would not lack. He makes him lie down in green pastures, leads him beside still waters, restores his soul, and leads him in paths of righteousness. Even though we walk through the valley of the shadow of death, we will fear no evil, because the Lord is with us. His rod and staff comfort us. He prepares a table before us in the presence of our enemies, anoints our head with oil, and our cup overflows. Surely goodness and mercy will follow us all the days of our lives, and we will dwell in the house of the Lord forever (Psalm 23:1–6). Amen.

So today I want us all to know: God cares about everything that concerns us. He is there. He is into us. His eyes are on us. Amen. He never takes them off. Praise the Lord. I love that song that says: “We have a heavenly Father above / With eyes full of mercy and a heart full of love / He really cares when your head is bowed low / …” Consider the lilies, and then you will know. Amen.

Scripture says, “Behold the birds of the air: they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them” (Matthew 6:26). Amen. He clothes the grass of the field—today it is, tomorrow it is thrown into the oven—how much more will He care for you, O you of little faith? (Matthew 6:30). Praise the Lord.

So today I came to encourage us: God can and will take care of us and all our concerns. He is able, and He loves us more than anything. We are His, and He is ours. Consider the details of that tiny snail, how wonderfully and beautifully it was made, and then consider yourself—how much thought the Creator of the entire Universe put into you. He knows you, and He has a plan and purpose for you. Our Father, our King Jesus, cares about it all. Amen!”

“For it is in His name, Jesus’ name, that I do ask and pray..Amen and Amen..Be blessed today my dear sweet friends and remember wherever you go and whatever you do, Be a light for our Father, Much love to you all, Mandi ❤️
