How do we know God cares for us despite His greatness?
Answered in 1 source
God's greatness does not distance Him from us; rather, He intimately cares for His people, as seen in His role as Shepherd.
While God's greatness is beyond comprehension, it is essential to understand that He is also deeply involved in the lives of His people. In Isaiah, we find that though God sees humanity as grasshoppers, He is also portrayed as a Shepherd who gathers His lambs and carries them in His bosom. This imagery indicates not only care but a personal relationship that God desires to have with His people. Through Christ, who is the perfect representation of God, we see that He knows His sheep by name and promises protection and guidance. The assurance that God is near, despite His omnipotence, gives believers hope and confidence in His providence and love.
