All Those Little Things

Sometimes our lives are so manic that we can miss so many of the little things that happen around us. This morning I was glad I didn't. I was driving to work and the lights in Talbot Green were not working. This meant that all the cars were attempting to cross at the same time. It seemed a very dangerous situation to me and I was struggling to find a chance to poke my car through the traffic. I could have been there ages or made a bad attempt and crashed my car. However a big van turned up next to me and forced through, meaning I could pull rank alongside it and go through as well! Straight away I thanked God and knew this was His Hand seeing me through a dodgy situation.

God has never stopped providing for me in my life. In every situation He has always met my needs even when I haven't had the faith I should have had.

I know I am not the only one He provides for, my mind turns to George Muller. In the 19th century he started an orphanage with no money & faith alone. God provided thousands of pounds to His cause and on his death, a newspaper acknowledged that his work was funded by faith alone as many children were provided for under his care.

Furthermore, I was reading Psalm 94 this morning and the Psalmist wrote:-

Psalm 94:22
But the LORD has become my fortress, and my God the rock in whom I take refuge.
God provided for that guy I guess too!

The last person I know God provides for is...you!

I challenge you for the next few days to keep an eye out for the little things that God does for you in your lives and thank Him for them, I know I'll be keeping a bigger eye out.

    I used to love walking to work, because when you walk you seem to notice more. I was always captivated by the beauty of the ever changing colours in the sky, and watching the different backdrops of the changing seasons, and intricacies of a growing leaf or flower. I know this wasn't your point, but when you take time to look at the glorious beauties around you, it's difficult to question the existence of God, it can't all be one giant accident can it?

    This kind of was my point actually. Sometimes when you take a moment to really think about it, you can always see the blessings of God in your life :)
