The Lord directs the steps of the godly. He delights in every detail of their lives. Psalm 37:23
God has blessed me in so many ways.
Every time I turn around, He shows up.
How?
Where?
Details.
He’s in the details of my life.
He’s in the sweet face of the kindergartner who announces to the class, “My teacher has such a pretty face”.
He’s in the email from a new friend encouraging me to seek God’s face for my life.
He’s in the flowers sent from dear high school friends I just ‘happened’ to recently see after way too many years.
He’s in the job I now have, because He prompted me to get more education and a teaching license knowing I would soon need it.
He’s in my grandfather’s voice on the phone asking how I am and if I’ve been on a hot date lately.
He’s in my son’s voice when he asks me how my day was.
He’s in the math student who declares that I am his favorite part of math class.
God is here.
And He is there with you, too.
He’s here in the small things and big.
When He’s in the smaller details of life, you have to notice them.
Pay attention.
Notice how He has everything all laid out for you.
Everything.
He has a plan and all you have to do is trust Him.
Trust.
Is that hard? Boy, is it – but it’s all we can do.
Besides, what other option is there if we decide not to trust him?
Worry.
Obsessive detail planning.
Create massive burdens to plan and execute our future.
No thanks.
I’d rather have the God of the universe, the Creator of ALL things plan my future.
He knows the beginning from the end.
He knows all of my options and fits my future together like a fine puzzle.
I can only imagine the stress of trying to fit my puzzle pieces together on my own.
Besides, I don’t have the finished picture.
And heck, I’d probably lose a piece or two.
Blame it on my sweet dog.
Anyhow, know who has the picture of our puzzle?
God.
Because He designed our puzzle.
And it’s not a puzzle to Him.
Sigh.
Talk about details.

Thanks, Tammy! Yes, it is completely scary – but I must. If something can encourage just one precious person, then it’s worth it.
