He cares about the little things

                “Look at the birds in the air, they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly father feeds them.” Matthew 6:26

Recently, I was reminded that God cares about every detail of my life. He even cares about the small things in my life.  Here are two recent instances where God reminded me that he cares about the little things in my life:

                My husband and I talked about how we wanted to get away for a couple of days, so that we could relax, spend time together, and go fishing. As we discussed possible places to go my husband said that it would be nice to go to Toledo Bend. We started saving up to go, but other things came up, and we have other things to save for, so we were not able to save the money yet. Then my husband’s parents invited us to Toledo Bend with them for the weekend. They rented a house out there and wanted us to get away to and spend some time with them. It was a great blessing! It was a relaxing weekend, and our son enjoyed all of the attention that he got over the weekend from his grandparents.

                My husband and I talked about buying a wearable baby carrier, because my little man is getting heavy. I figured it would be easier to if I had something to put him in. We wanted to buy one that was easy to put him in. I had one already, but had a hard time tying it, and my son would cry and try to get out of it. We were planning on taking money from my husband’s check to buy one, but then a man from church gave me a baby carrier. It was exactly like the one I wanted! He said that he had bought it for his sister-in-law, and she did not want it. What a blessing! What great reminders that God even cares about the small details in our lives.

                Sometimes I forget that God cares about my life. I go through struggles and I do not pray, because I do not think it’s a big enough issue to pray about, or I go to other people about the situation before praying about it.

“Your father cares about what you need before you ask him.” Matthew 6:8

“Don’t worry about anything, Instead pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done.” Philippians 4:6.

 But God cares about everything even the small things. He knows all of our needs, before we come to him. He wants us to trust him, and pray to him about all things.
