BIG OR SMALL GOD TAKES CARE OF IT ALL

It’s amazing to me that I have no trouble knowing and believing God in the big, supernatural things like my eternal life, His Presence with me at all times, and His taking care of my soul and heart.  But I get tripped up and worry about the little things like who can drive me to my doctor appointments or who will help me get my groceries, or how I will get around town when I need to run errands.  The supernatural things are no brainers for me.  I know God has those covered.  Why can’t I believe he has the minor practical things covered too?  Maybe it’s just human nature.

Jesus begins his Sermon on the Mount with the heavy duty things of the Kingdom of God but then goes to the little practical things…not worrying about what I’ll eat, drink, about my body, and how I will clothe myself.  These are all talked about in the same teaching.  He goes from big kingdom expectations to simple exhortations for me to look at the birds of the air and the flowers of the field and observe how well God takes care of these little creatures, meeting all their needs.

God knows what I need; He takes care of all of them, just the same, the big and the small.  Jesus gives the solution to all my worries, the big and the small.  “Seek first the kingdom of God”, all those supernatural things I know to be true.  If He takes care of those big things He can certainly be trusted to take care of all the smaller details I get concerned with, so I can ease my mind and soul.  I don’t need to be anxious for anything at anytime.  He will be forever Present and light my path one step at a time.
