God Cares About Little Things

God Cares About Little Things

"If a man remains in me and I in him, he will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing."
John 15:5


In the course of a day, there are so many things in our life that happens that ruins our happiness and joy. I am not talking about the major issues we often have, such as a serious health problem, or a crisis in our marriage, or even a major financial challenge. I am talking about the little things that can ruin your day, such as losing your car keys, misplacing your wallet, getting a traffic ticket, spilling your coffee, or your computer not working. So often people let the little things ruin their day and cause them to lose their entire focus on the important things of life. I have warned you over and over in my devotionals, that it doesn't take much for Satan to control your day if you let him, which is one of the reasons you must have a committed 24/7 relationship with God. Just letting your guard down for a few minutes is all that is needed for Satan to take control, and take away your joy and happiness. When the apostle Paul said to "Pray without ceasing", this is what he was talking about, as a momentary lapse in your relationship with God, can allow Satan a foothold, which is all it takes to ruin your day. You must realize that God cares about all the little things in your life. He cares if you can't find your wallet or your car keys. He cares if you spill your coffee, or your computer isn't working. Don't depend upon yourselves to handle these small issues, but turn them over to God to help you handle. No matter how small the problem might be, you can still pray that God can deliver you from these, just as you will pray for the big issues. God wants you to live in peace, and if the small things are robbing you of peace, turn them over to God.
