Many
Christians make the mistake of thinking that God is too busy taking care of the
“big things” to be interested in the little problems they are facing. Are you
one of them? It may be your child’s bed-wetting habit, a quarrel with a friend
or the small pimple on your face. No matter how trivial it sounds, if it
troubles you, then God wants to take care of it!
God
wants to take care of every area of your life, even the smallest detail. He
loves you so much that He knows the number of hairs you have on your head. And
if your loving heavenly Father knows and is interested in the small details of
your life, then you don’t have to overcome any problem on your own.
When
my daughter Jessica turned three, my wife Wendy and I decided to bring her to
Disneyland. Knowing that it was her first encounter with Disneyland and that
she could be frightened by unexpected shocks, I decided to watch one of the
theater productions which I had planned to bring her to, before I took her to
watch it.
As
I sat through the production, my mind was on Jessica all the time. I was
thinking, “Is this too frightening for her? Will she like the mechanical
singing bear? Is the place too dark for her?” I decided to bring her to the
show only after I had seen it myself and was sure that she would enjoy it.
My
friend, your heavenly Father cares for you in the same way as He lays out His
plans for you. You are on His heart all the time as He carefully considers and
makes plans for every aspect of your life, both big and small. And the very
thought of you puts a smile on His face because He knows that the plans He has
for you are plans to bless you (see Jeremiah 29:11).
So
no matter what problems you are facing right now, you can rest in His love for
you. There is no problem that is too insignificant for Him to handle. He is not
just God Almighty, He is also your heavenly Father who loves you! (Article & Picture; courtesy of Joseph
