God Cares About The Details
Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows. -- Luke 12:7
Something wonderful happened the other day. I was driving down a winding two-lane road and came upon construction work. You know the kind. One lane is blocked so we’re all having to take turns. It can really delay a trip.
Well, I got there just in time to be the last vehicle in the line. I didn’t have to wait at all. I was thrilled! I immediately praised God for the blessing. My companion looked at me as though I’d lost my mind.
We traveled on, did our business, then headed back on the same road. Guess what? We got there just in time to be the last vehicle in the moving line. We didn’t have to stop. Again. How crazy wonderful is that?
I asked my companion: “Do you realize what God has done for us? He made a clear path both ways. We weren’t even delayed.”
She didn’t share my enthusiasm.
I know there are some folks who don’t believe that God gets into the details of our lives. I totally disagree. God cares about every, single detail in our lives. He numbers the hairs on our heads! Of course, he cares if we’re stuck in traffic or not.
I am so aware that God is awesome and almighty. He created the universe and He created me. He is so powerful and mighty. And He loves me. He does. And when you love someone, you care about the details of their lives.
Do we realize how much God loves us? Not just as humans but as the individuals He created us to be. Yeah, He gets involved in the big stuff. But He also gets involved in the little stuff, like blessing us with an easy trip. And I didn’t even ask!
In the book of James, we are told we don’t have because we either don’t ask or we ask with wrong motives. Think about that. How many times do we fail to ask God because we think that what we want or need is just too trivial to bother Him with? He wants to be bothered.
God wants a relationship with us. He wants us to seek Him out and want to spend time with Him. God wants us to tell Him the details of our lives, to choose to include Him in all of our lives.
So talk to Him about the details. You never know what might happen.
