SO SMALL BUT YET SO BIG

    
When we think about how small we are compared to the universe we feel like a grain of sand in the vast ocean.  This can cause us to start thinking that the Lord doesn't care about us and we are somehow in this world groping around attempting the survive without his hand on our lives. 

     The Lord is constantly putting something in my path that proves this is just not true.  Upon completing a job interview yesterday and starting the drive back through the medtroplex, I stopped to get gas at a Seven-Eleven convenient store.  As I walked through the doors there was a lady there and she showed a great amount of kindness. As I shopped around in the store I noticed how relaxed and comfortable I felt even though I was in the metroplex area where I should normally be quite tense.  Then I realized the music playing over the sound system was a christian song.  Matt Redman was singing the wonderful song, "You never let go." 

     How often does that happen in a convenient store in the heart of Dallas Texas.  The Lord knew what I needed, he knew I would fill my truck with gas and he placed the person inside that store for such a time as this. He wants us to know he is ever present and leading the way for us. 

     Maybe you are one of those people who don't believe the Lord cares about me that much.  Well, I am here to tell you that even though I am a tiny piece of sand in the middle of the vast ocean, my father sees me and knows my need.

     Upon leaving the store I made it a point to tell the manager how much I appreciated the music that was being played over the sound system and what it meant to me at that very moment.  I must say, "I am blessed."

    But even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Fear not therefore: ye are of more value than many sparrows.  (Luke 12:7)
