Don’t you love it when God cares about the little things in life? We care about them, but why would almighty God be concerned if little ol’ Aprill’s alarm clock goes off? Or even that her car dome light was on all night and her battery is probably dead but she needs to be somewhere in half an hour and who is she going to call to give her a jump at this hour in the morning? But God does care even about the little things. When they are important to us, no matter how small or seemingly insignificant, they are important to Him as well. Isn’t that awesome!? I am soooo glad! And it’s neat how God does something great in our little lives because He loves us but also to give us the opportunity to praise Him. But we do have a choice and can simply brush it off as coincidence or credit it to chance, but when we do that, we rob God of His glory. So let’s remember to give God all the praise, all the glory and all the honor He so deserves – because He is always working!!!
I was staying the weekend at my grandparent’s house while they were out of town, but needed to be back at work (my other grandma’s) by seven o’clock Monday morning. I set my alarm the night before so that I would have plenty of time to get ready, load the car and leave the house as I found it.
The next morning I woke up and looked at my alarm clock and it was past time to get up! For some reason it didn’t go off. The A.M. and P.M. were wrong, but they were opposite so it should have went off. The strange thing about it too was that Sunday morning it went off and the only thing I had changed the night before was the minutes. I don’t know what happened but I thanked the Lord as I jumped out of bed and rushed around to make it in time.
I was carrying my bags out to the car when I saw that my dome light was on. Great. It had been on all night! I prayed and then asked who I was going to call to come give me a jump! I set my bags down with my heart in agony (I had to be in town by seven – it was vital and no room for being late) and rushed to the driver’s seat. I pleaded in earnest as I put the key in ignition and turned…..
It started – with no problem! Wow! Thank You, Lord! I praised God the entire way into town and made it on time with even time to spare! Isn’t God incredible!? There is no doubt in my mind that God hears when we cry out to Him – no matter what we’re crying out to Him about. Woowhoo!!! Praise the Lord! So the next time something "small" happens in your life, give credit where credit is due – the Lord! :-)
