Think About It
Is God Interested In The Little Things Of Life?
By
Pastor B.J. Knefley
I often wonder how many times we don’t want to bother God because we see our need as being small or trivial. Because of that, we don’t reach out. We wait for those big important things but when we can’t find our keys or wallet, we think those things are unimportant to a God who controls the universe.
In Matthew 6:26-30 Jesus mentions the importance of both the birds of the air and the flowers of the field. Both are important to God and if important to him then how much more important are our needs. Yet, we often dismiss our needs as being trivial and unimportant. Why?
The other day I couldn’t find my wallet. I knew that I’d had it when I went for a ride on my motorcycle and all I could think of was that I had somehow dropped it out of my pocket, and it was laying along the road somewhere. I looked frantically in every conceivable place that I’d been without success. I didn’t just search one time but three different trips to the garage, house and shed. Nothing! I finally sat down with my wife and prayed. All I asked was for me to see what His eyes already saw. I walked back to my shed where I keep my motorcycle and there it was on the work bench. Why or how I hadn’t seen this before is beyond me, but I had overlooked it each time when it was in plain sight.
I must admit that losing something and then finding it through prayer doesn’t always happen. Even now I just prayed with someone who had lost their phone. Did we find it? No, we didn’t. But that won’t stop me from praying, even for the little things. In the end the answer to prayer or even what appears to be the non-answer is always a mystery. In other words, I don’t understand why some prayers seem to be answered and others do not. Remember, Jesus prayed that if it were the will of His father to have the cup of suffering pass Him by, “but nevertheless thy will be done”, (Matthew 26:29). In the end we know that it was in the plan of the Father that Jesus was to go through the agony of the cross. His submission is why we celebrate Easter. Think About It.
