In bible study observe how constantly the Word couples together statements of God's power with expressions of His tenderness toward us. Thus: "He heals the broken in heart, and binds up their wounds. He tells the number of the stars; He calls them all by their names." (Psalm 147:3-4)
Again: "Great is our Lord, and of great power; His understanding is infinite. The Lord lifts up the meek." (Psalm 147:5-6)
He gives assurance of His great power in order that we may trust our little and heavy trials to Him.
Many have an idea that because God is so great He cannot pay attention to such trifling perplexities as come in ordinary life. But that is just the reason why He can and does care for the little things, even to the sparrow that falls, and to the very hairs of the head.
He tells us of His great might in order to assure us that He is able to save us.
How firm a foundation, you saints of the Lord,
Is laid for your faith in His excellent Word!
What more can He say than to you He has said,
Who unto the Saviour for refuge have fled?
--George Keith (attributed to), Hymn: How Firm a Foundation, 1787.
--Present Truth, September 12, 1895--Psalm 147:3-6.
