I'm continuing on my study of the Providence of God and it's got into something I'm not understanding.
Matthew 10:29-30 - "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."
I'm not sure of what this stands for besides that God knows even the smallest detail about us - that our hair is numbered and for some of us that's a lot of hair.
Acts 14:14-17
"But when the apostles Barnabas and Paul heard of this, they tore their clothes and rushed out in the the crowd shouting: "Men, why are you doing this? We too are only men, human like you; We are bringing you good news, telling you to turn from these worthless things to the living God, who made heaven and heart, and sea and everything in them. In the past, he let all nations go their own way. Yet he has not left himself without testimony. He has shown his kindness by giving you rain from heaven and crops in their seasons; he provides you with plenty of food and fills your hearts with joy."
Acts 14:14 "tore their clothes - a Jewish way of expressing great anguish.
I don't think this accurately expresses the Providence of God as well as Psalm 104. But we can always praise God for his providence, no matter what.
