Our God is a BIG God. He
can do anything for us.
When my dishwasher breaks, He can fix it.
When I need a job, He can provide one.
When I run out of cash, God can supply some out of thin air
for me.
When we’re stuck for what to say at Bible Study, as we
write, create a presentation for work, or in handling an awkward situation….God
can give us the right words.
When we need self-control with food, our words, our children, our drinking or anything…God
can give us that self-control that we struggle to find for ourselves.
Whatever we are going through – God can fill that gap for
us.
So, why don’t we ask? Why do we forget that He can do the
big AND the small?
Do we think we can handle it ourselves? Do we think He
doesn’t care about the small details in our lives like a new pair of jeans?
What, exactly, is it?
Just as I want my children to come to me with small concerns
as well as big ones, I believe God wants us to come to Him. He considers it an
honor. And it grows our intimacy with Him to have Him walk with us through all
our journeys, concerns, and struggles in life. Yes, He can handle the
big ones. But He can also handle the small. In fact, I bet He HAS handled
many small details in our lives without us coming to Him at all.
Because He loves us. And because He cares. About all of it.
Because He loves us. And because He cares. About all of it.
So, let’s ask. Ask BIG and ask SMALL. Ask in faith and ask in doubt. But ASK.
He wants us to.
I'm a big fan of asking God for all my needs. Good reminder.
ReplyDeleteI really love this post. I think we can forget how personal God is and how much he cares about the smallest details. :D
ReplyDeleteI agree completely!
ReplyDeleteWe have a two-year-old that is constantly fighting her boundaries and pushing back against us...each day reminds me that God gives us children so we can understand how much HE loves US.
I need to trust more and worry less!
