It's the little things . . .
"It's the little things. . . . ."
Little things can make all the difference in the world. They can either bring ease and comfort when they are working properly or are present or they can make life difficult, a little more challenging, and bring discomfort when they are absent or not working properly.
One of the lessons the Lord is currently teaching me is that He is big enough to fill in the gaps - where I lack and have need. He looks after me and cares for me even when the washing machine doesn't work and it takes 5 hours to clean my clothes. He provides a place for a hot shower when there is no hot water in my building. He sends a brother to make a cup of hot tea for me when I'm sitting in a chilly room on my computer. He provides little things like toilet paper, a trash can, and hand soap when my room runs out. He is good to provide time and silence to spend time in His presence after a long and busy week.
This principle is also lived out in the community in which I live. When something happens or something doesn't work, the first response is to stop what you're doing and address the issue in prayer. God shows up when His people pray. It's been so cool to hear about and see His responses, many immediate, to the prayers of simple faith and dependence of His children.
The little things matter, not just to us, but to the God we serve, and we serve a BIG God!
