I had to be at my workplace at 9AM, as there was a meeting, and I needed to be on that meeting.Įven though I planned to set off earlier, little things prevented me. I woke up earlier than usually, because I had to travel to work (usually I work remotely, but today it was not the case). When I am awake, I am still with you.I have to share testemony of what happened to me today. Compared to Him and His glory, our whole lives are made up of those “little things.” Psalm 139:17–18 says, “How precious to me are your thoughts, O God! How vast is the sum of them, Were I to count them, they would outnumber the grains of sand. God does indeed care about the “little things” in our lives, because He cares about us. Jesus is not too “big” or too busy to bless the children. He said to them, ‘Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these’” (Mark 10:14). In fact, once when people brought their children to Jesus, the disciples rebuked them with the thought of sending them away. One meal in the lives of so many is but a detail, yet we have an amazing account of His earnestness in providing a heaven-sent meal for over 5,000 men, women, and children.Ĭhildren are “little things” and might seem to get in the way of the more “important” things. In Matthew 14:18–21 we see a clear picture of Jesus’ compassion on the hungry crowds. Jesus was sent to save the lost and bridge the gap between man and God since the fall, but He still took the time to meet the immediate needs of people He encountered. Jesus has always been more interested in quality than quantity. Throughout Jesus’ earthly ministry, we see that He was interested in the specifics of people’s lives. Are you not much more valuable than they?” If God even meets the needs of birds who are not made in His image, who have no will to choose Him or reject Him, how much more will He care for our needs in detail? Because of God’s care, we can trust Him: “Your Father knows what you need before you ask him” (Matthew 6:8). Matthew 6:26 says, “Look at the birds of the air they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. He cares for all of His creations, including plants, animals, and the environment. He cares about every aspect of who we are, because we are His creation made in His image (see Genesis 1:27). Throughout Scripture, we see that God is interested in more than just the highlights of our lives as His children. don’t be afraid you are worth more than many sparrows.” God takes the time to keep up with how many hairs we have-now that’s a God of detail! Of course, God cares about the little things in our lives, because everything is “little” compared to God! Luke 12:7 says, “Indeed, the very hairs of your head are all numbered.
