This week I’ve been part of a Royal Family Kids’ Camp. This is a camp with the mission and purpose of creating positive memories for abused and neglected children. We’ve seen God do amazing things this week. One of them reminded me of Jesus’ words in Luke 12.
6 “Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. 7 But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. Luke 12:6-7
God knows.
God knows everything.
God knows everything and cares about the little things in your life.
Little things like hairs on your head. (I’m concerned about the little hairs on my head, too.) He is concerned about things that frustrate you and effect you in other ways. This week, I learned that retainers fall into that category.
One of our Royal Family campers left their retainer on the lunch tray and it was tossed in the garbage. About two hours later, we got a call on the radio asking for help finding the retainer in one of two HUGE dumpsters. Just before we started, I told the camper and one other counselor, “We’re going to need some help with this. Let’s pray.”
I know that was a step of faith. A retainer in two dumpsters is very similar to a needle in a haystack. But I know it’s in there, and God knows where it is. My prayer was something like this, “God, I know you know everything. I know you care about (camper). Please help us find this retainer.”
You might be thinking that was a foolish prayer, but I really believe God wants to reveal Himself to us, maybe especially to kids who have had a rough start in life.
Can you guess the end of the story? In about 10 minutes, we found the retainer. God cares about the little things in your life, be it hair, or lost items. God hears our prayers, and He wants to reveal Himself in impossible situations. That’s when He really shines. Put the ‘little things’ of your life in His hands today and see what happens.
Enjoying the Journey,
David
