In the Details

The weather has been cold for Southern California. We had a chilly rainstorm on Monday that blew out by late afternoon. Yesterday morning was very nippy, and the cool temps, along with the wet ground, left a beautiful blanket of dew covering the grass like velvet. Everything looked so delicate. Too bad it all disappeared after a few hours. At least we have a spectacular white blanket of snow atop our local mountains to enjoy for a week or more (with the unpredictability of our weather, you never know if we’ll have a heat wave next).

God placed many wonderful examples of His creativity into nature to show us that He’s involved in this world. He’s into the details of His creation, even coating the tiniest blades of grass with sparkling frost.

If God is so involved in His process of nature, don’t you think that He would even be more concerned about the details of your life? Since He created you, He knows every nuance of your personality. He knows about your aches and pains; about your troubles and turmoils, and about the little things that bring a smile to your face.

So why not take your cares and concerns to Him? Ask Him to be the strength of your life; ask Him for courage for today and hope for tomorrow. He is waiting to listen, and then to answer. All you have to do is call.
