He is The creator of the universe. He made heaven and earth and everything in it. He sent His one and only son to die on the cross to save us from our sins. He heals broken bones and hearts and cures diseases that the medical world calls fatal. The list goes on and on of all the ways that He shows us that He is the God of big things.
Today, He reminded me that He is also the God of little things. The little things that are unique to us individually.
This morning, I headed off to my local secondhand stores in search of some new skirts and dresses. After getting out of the library and before driving over to the first second-hand store, I prayed. I do not remember my exact words. All I remember is asking for success in my shopping trip. I drove over to the first store to discover that they were closed for the long weekend. Fair enough, everyone wants to enjoy their long weekend. I tried the second store to find the same thing. I reluctantly decided to drive to Chatham and see what Goodwill and Value Village had to offer.
At Goodwill, the first skirt I laid my eyes on was a beautiful dark blue maxi skirt. A perfect fit. I praised God as I walked out of the store with my purchase.
Then, I headed to Value Village. Where I found a light grey and white striped maxi skirt and a pretty light pink scarf to accessorize with. Another perfect fit and a beautiful blessing. I walked out singing praise and thanking God for this second blessing.
I came home, put together my new outfits and excitedly shared with family and friends. I'm excited to wear one of the outfits to church tomorrow and then the second on our Family Day holiday Monday.
God is faithful, friend. In the big life-altering events and the small every day "insignificant" things. He is a good father and wants to bless His children with good gifts. These two skirts and the scarf fit beautifully into the good gift category.
So I ask you friend, where are you seeing God in the "small things?" Is it a day of rest after a long hall of work? A sunny day after what feels like weeks of grey overcast days? A new episode of your favourite TV show? An overdue coffee date with an old friend? Whatever the activity, where are you seeing God work in your life?
I pray this post blesses you today, friend.
Happy Family Day weekend.
God Bless
