Small Details

15 Again the Israelites cried out to the Lord, and he gave them a deliverer — Ehud, a left-handed man, the son of Gera the Benjamite. - Judges 3:15

I love the fact that I serve a big God. A God that holds the world in His hand. A God large enough to oversee all the works of mankind without the slightest limitation. A God that knows the beginning from the end. A God that always has a plan that He is working through mankind for His glory and His purpose.

This is what is happening here in our text. God hears the cries of his people as a nation and rises up a leader to deliver them. I love that.

But there is something else that I love about God. He is a God that cares about the small details. He knows us individually. He concerns Himself with even the smallest matters of our lives. Ehud wasn’t just a man, any man, generic in man or personality or individuality. He was a man that God knew personally and took note of. A left handed man.

Remember something today. Yes, God is big. Big enough to handle any and every situation that could ever arise. But God is also personal enough to care about the small details of your life. He knows you. Your heart, your feelings, your preferences, your circumstances, your name. Nothing is too big for Him but neither is anything to small.

Feeling insignificant? Unnoticed among the crowd? Unimportant in this big world?

Not to God. He notices it all and cares deeply about you…about me.

Matt 10:30-31
30 And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. 31 So don't be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.
NIV
