LITTLE IS MUCH

Bless the LORD, O my soul,

and forget not all His benefits.

Psalm 103:2

It didn't seem like much at the moment, but it was one of those wonder moments that would have meant nothing to anyone but me. Recently, I had to go have lab work done in anticipation of my six month checkup with my doctor the end of the week. I ventured out on Wednesday morning hoping to get it all finished while still hoping to make it to our Wednesday morning Bible study at church.

My timing was questionable at best because of the flood of others who show up for such tests first thing in the morning. I could just see it....parking lot with no close up spaces except for out in the boonies of the lot. The waiting line for registration I imagined to be at least twenty people which would be the usual. It was just the facts of what I had seen in time past.

I was right about the parking lot. It was really full and there was no way I'd find a handicap spot. I went ahead and pulled up into that area with the blue squares on the concrete of the parking spaces. So I did a quick cruise anyway and almost hit a pickup as it decided to pull out in front of me, leaving me a wonderful parking space...I was thrilled and quickly thanked my Lord for His favor. I went on into the registration area and there were only three people in front of me in the line. That was nothing short of a miracle. I was in and out in a jiffy. Before leaving, I took a casual look to see what the line up for service looked like. I counted 25 people and growing. If I had arrived just a little later, it could have been a mess.

In my car I was almost in tears of joy. It was all God's timing and doing and I was rejoicing. It would have all been very small in the eyes of others. There's an old song I have loved for years entitled..”.Little is Much When God is in it.” We need to brush out the cobwebs of our spiritual memories and remember those seemingly little ways God has cared for us not just in the big ways but in the smallest of ways. When God is in the small things, they suddenly take on very huge meaning. Oh how He loves you and me!

I praise You Father, for all the little things You bring my way that bless me and often aid me in ways I need. You are always looking out for me and I'm so grateful. Your little things in my life seem to grow into giant proportions and I'm so very grateful for Your love in my life...In Jesus' precious name.....Amen
