Yes, the Lord truly does care about the "little things" in our lives. Everything, big and small, He knows and He cares. Matthew 10:30 and Luke 12:7 both say that God knows they number of hairs on our head (a number that changes constantly though out the day, by the way, it's not like He checks in once a year and counts)! So, yes, He even cares about our three-year-old's Little Bengal Tiger, who has been missing for about 2 weeks or so. As I was cleaning up Sunshine's room, I was praying, again, and asking, again, for The Lord to reveal the location to me of her little object of so much love. I knew all along that The Lord knew of its location and that He would reveal it to us in His time, at the RIGHT time. And, do you know what I found crammed under the BACK of her night stand? Yes, that is right, Little Bengal Tiger! Oh, Sunshine was so delighted. And, after a very difficult day of her 3 years of existence, it truly was the perfect time for her to get him back. My husband and I are committing several things to prayer for all 30 days of June. This is one on the list! I'm so excited to see how Jehovah Jireh (The LORD our Provider) will answer the others as well. I just love crossing prayers off a prayer list.
You know what is great? If I cared so much about our daughters tiger, how much more does The Lord care about the other items on our prayer list (and the ones not on the list!); I sure don't know how many hairs are on our daughter's head and I cared for her tiger and He is a far better parent than I could ever dream of being, perfect by the way.
1 Peter 5:7
"Cast ALL your anxiety on HIM because HE cares for you." NIV, emphasis mine.
