God is in the small things in life. Yesterday was a perfect example of that. I was driving home from a church in Schodack, New York, along a busy highway lined with grassy meadows and hills of thick trees. Along the edge of the highway, dangerously close to traffic, there was a baby deer nibbling at the grass. My heart went out to him and I lifted up a prayer. Jesus, I said, I know you care about the little things too. Please protect that deer's life and lead it away from the highway. Immediately the baby deer looked up from grazing as if it saw something, and the deer turned fully around and walked in a direct line into the forest of trees. It was as if a guide was leading it by the neck. It happened so suddenly and I was able to see it all happen before I was out of sight. It moved me to tears as yet another reminder of the Lord's faithful attention to the prayers of his saints. He really does care about the little things. And this gives us courage to trust him for the bigger things.
Do not despise the day of small beginnings, saith the Lord.
Remember, our words have life and death in them. Speak life to every situation. Do not be anxious or worried; instead speak in faith in The One who is in control of all things, for it is our faith mixed with His actions which brings change.
*And nothing is impossible with God.*
