Hi, Pastor John.
It was an honor to be there to read Psalm 119, this past Sunday; 22 parts and 22 people. It was a small thing, but big at the same time. God is in charge!
Tuesday, my tires needed air and I went to Sheetz in Graham. As I waited my turn, my thoughts were on the Psalm 119 reading, still. I pulled up to the air compressor, and saw a valve stem cover laying on the ground in font of it. I thought, “I’ll set it on the curb and if anyone needs one, they will see it and use it”. As I set the air pressure gauge and bent over to remove the valve stem cover on my tire, I noticed I didn’t have one on it. So, when I finished, I smiled and picked up the cover that I sat down on the curb and put it on my truck tire, thanking God that he was thinking of me. It was very humbling!
After I got into my truck to leave, the spirit reminded me how God helped me through the big things in my life like: cancer, sick kids; when Josh’s appendix ruptured, etc.– Big things that increased my faith in what God has done for me and others; big obstacles (which are not big to God). The spirit also reminded me that God is in control of the smallest things in my life, such as the little tire valve stem cover, and that he is in charge of everyone of the little things, too. The big things are obvious, but there are far more little things, I’m sure, that we can’t even number nor are fully aware (unless He lets us see it) what God does for us on a daily basis.
It was a very sweet feeling being reminded how much Jesus cares.
Just a “little” lesson from Jesus,
Billy
