God Of The Small Things Too

John 21:9, 12

9Then, as soon as they had come to land, they saw a fire of coals there, and fish laid on it, and bread… 12Jesus said to them, “Come and eat breakfast.”

Like many parents, Wendy and I pray for our daughter Jessica before she sleeps every night.
When Jessica was two years old, we decided to pray that her diapers would not overflow during the night. Her diapers not overflowing might be just a small thing, but we knew it would give our little girl a comfortable sleep every night. And after we started praying, we noticed that her diapers did not overflow.
That incident made me realise that our God is not just interested in the big things that happen to us. He bothers and cares about the minor things in our lives too. There is nothing too small for Him. So don’t be like some religious people who have this idea that God only wants us to bring the big things to Him, and that He doesn’t want us to bother Him with small things.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Our God cares about everything that you experience — from the small ulcer in your mouth to your concern about the weather. When you tell Him about the inconvenience that might arise if the bus is late, He takes note of that too. In fact, when you come to Him often about anything and everything in your daily life, you compliment Him because you are telling Him that He is your Daddy God.
Jesus represented the Father’s heart and will while He was on earth. (John 5:19) Jesus cared when His disciples were out at sea the whole night, cold and shivering. He cared when they caught nothing that night. (John 21:3) He cared that they would not have fish to sell and would go hungry. So He gave them a huge catch early the next morning. (John 21:5–6) He knew that they were cold and hungry, so He prepared breakfast for them, served over a fire of coals to keep warm.
Jesus shows us that God is our loving heavenly Father who cares about the things that happen every day in our lives. Nothing escapes His eyes because He loves you!
