Nothing Is Too Small For God to Be Concerned About
We often feel small and wonder if God can possibly be concerned with us each one individually. In our pain and suffering we question how God can possibly know each pain we feel. But, He has known anguish far more than we can ever know, and He certainly cares that we are in need of relief.
A statement comes due and we are short of cash; we feel alone in our financial distress, failing to realize that even our finances matter to God. He desires for us to ask for His help when we feel overwhelmed.
Relationships also concern God, He who sees nothing too small or unimportant for Him to have an interest in, knows our problems with others and the desires of our hearts. God is also concerned about those we love and cares about their well being.
Employment is a concern people worry about, forgetting that God knows our responsibilities and desires us to work. The Bible refers to a man's responsibility to labor in order to provide for his needs. God cares, too, that we have a roof over our head, food on the table, and a comfortable home in which to live.
We limit God by seeing things as too small for Him to care about; we don't want to bother Him with our problems. We think God can not possibly be bothered with our menial distresses. We see our problems as only ours to worry about, but God is not to be limited; He is interested in everything that concerns us.
The Bible tells us, five sparrows worth two pennies are not unimportant to God. He also knows every hair on our head. In other words, nothing is too insignificant for God, and He desires to meet all of our needs.
You and your problems are more important to God than you can possibly know. So instead of worrying and fretting over even the little things in your life, take them to God. Ask Him to help you find a solution and cast your problems at Jesus' feet.
Worry makes problems bigger and solutions impossible. Forgetting your responsibilities solves nothing either, but giving them to God can make the difference.
Giving problems to God doesn't mean we cease to work, stop paying bills, quit going to the doctor or living normal lives. It doesn't mean our problems will disappear. But it does mean we should listen and watch for answers and solutions that God will bring to us, sometimes in ways we least expect them.

My Comments: Another good reminder that we need to rely on the Lord and rest in His promise of grace, deliverance and peace.
