“Keep your heart with all diligence, for out of it spring the issues of life.” Proverbs 4:23

The Tiny, Tiny Details

We have a long deck on our house. Every day, twice a day, I do “deck walking” back and forth for exercise. As I was walking one day this week, I noticed some tiny flowers on one of the potted plants on the deck. I don’t ever remember the plant blooming before. The flowers are tiny, tiny. I’m attaching a photo at the bottom, but it’s hard to see how very tiny they are.

As I looked at them, I marveled at God’s attention to detail in something so small. It reminded me again that God is involved in and cares about the details in our lives. I’m so grateful that I can take every care, every concern, every need to Him. He hears my pleas and helps me. He’s never too busy. Nothing is too insignificant to Him.

Recently I’ve been concerned about several things. As I’m working on my recovery, I am trying to be careful about what I eat. One day I realized that things were “eating me” as I carried these concerns on my heart. I took time to one-by-one give my concerns—my burdens and anxieties—to Him. It felt good to lighten the load I was carrying. Seeing the tiny flowers was a good reminder that we serve a God who cares about details.

The little details that we bring to the Lord are just a small part of all the great things He is doing—but they matter to Him because He cares about us. I love the Father’s caring heart for me and you!

Lord, help us to see the tiny, tiny details you care for in our lives. We are thankful.
