Every
time I play Trivial Pursuit, I am amazed at all the useless information my
brain has retained. Some of it – I have no idea why I know it. What is truly
incredible is that every bit of trivia buried in the recesses of my memory is
also housed in the mind of God. A penny
for my thoughts? A sparrow is worth twice as much. How many hairs are there on
my head? (A lot!) Who needs to know that?
The
God who spoke the universe into creation; who keeps planets from colliding; who
knows what calculus is (are?) – he is the same God who knows my favorite color
and has blessed the earth with flowers to match. In a world of billions, I am
not so much. In the eyes of God, I am worth the life of his Son. After all
that, he isn’t going to forget about me. Or you. He will take care of us.
I have to wonder, though: would I be more valuable if I
could remember important things instead of just the trivial ones? . . . Nope.
The price is the same.
