Details
While I was talking with someone the other day, she mentioned
something going on in her life. I asked if she’d prayed about it. She replied
no, she didn’t think God was concerned about something like that…..she prays
about the important things but not anything as small as this. I could identify
with this thinking, and at one time my thinking was….after all, God has a lot to
do all the time!
Then one day I happened to be visiting a church. After the worship service the
pastor asked if anyone would like to come up for prayer.
Several people did. Clearly some had physical ailments; others may have had
financial, family, or work situations they were seeking God’s help in. One woman
had a cold, and she went right up for prayer along with the others. The pastors
and prayer team prayed for each person that came, including the woman with the
sniffles. No prayer request was too large, or too small.
There is nothing under the sun that is not important to God. All we have to do
is look at our solar system, the starry universe, how a baby is perfectly put
together before birth, the cell structure in our bodies, right down to a
perfectly and intricately made bumble bee in a minutely detailed single flower.
He is most definitely and assuredly in details. And He is totally interested in
the details of our lives. The Word of the Lord is truth, and it says that even
the hairs of our head are numbered by God. He knows every single solitary detail
about us. He IS interested and involved in our lives.
No prayer request is too small for Him. He already knows what is in our hearts
and minds, and longs for us to come to Him, our Heavenly Father, to ask and to
talk things over. Through the Holy Spirit, we can come to Him, trusting and
believing.
What an awesome and amazing God we have, that HE would be interested in every
detail concerning us. So “give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares
about you.” (1 Peter 5:7) How wonderful we serve a God of details.
That is good news.
