Devotion for the First Week of October 2008

I read an article a few days ago about a man in Ocean Springs, Mississippi whose last name is Unknown. This gentleman's last name really is “Unknown.” What's his name? Unknown. Almost sounds like an Abbott and Costello comedy routine.

His full name is Nikone Unknown. Unknown is 49-years-old and he owns a restaurant in Ocean Springs. Unknown acquired that name when he immigrated to the United States from Laos in 1979. Unknown feared revealing his real name to immigration officials, who simply listed his last name as "unknown." Unknown's wife is Ratchanee Unknown, and his son is Nick Unknown.

This world is filled with people who think they are unknown, lost, or forgotten.

But God knows each and everyone one of us. God knows our heart and mind. God knows our needs. God even knows the number of hairs on our head.

And even the hairs of your head are all counted. Matthew 10:30
