The first thing that came to my mind, when I considered God as the One who measures, was the idea of hearts being "weighed in the balance". (Ps. 62:9, Dan. 5:27.) That isn't exactly what is being discussed here, but it is yet another way in which the sovereign God of the universe knows how much, how long, how far, how big... It is a comfort in prayer to ask the One who knows these things, "What should I do now, LORD?" and listening for His answer. It is a chance both to rest in His sovereignty and look for opportunities to take responsibility. Thank you for the thoughts, Laura. - Nancy B.
