Sometime ago during a genial conversation on spiritual
principles a participant tossed out the comment “I don’t trouble God with the little
things, he’s much too busy.” This was said in all earnestness but little
understanding of what Living on the Spiritual Basis entails. There are
no “small” things to God. Everything interests God.
Everything. Nothing in our lives is beneath His concern or healing. Tennyson wrote,
“He is closer than hands and feet, closer than breath” which is most close indeed and Emmet Fox stated
“God is always present; always ready to heal, to comfort, to inspire.”
No barriers or arbitrary lines in the sand exist dealing with God’s
level of involvement or commitment in our life. He is within, right
here, right now, seeking expression in every area of our lives, from the
maximal to the minimal, big deals and little deals, if we are willing
to step out in faith and trust. Arguably the most powerful prayer in the
Bible is “Be still, and know that I am God” the knowing within,
available 24/7. So we don’t concern ourselves with trying to sort out
what is appropriate for God’s attention, instead we place everything in
His hands, trusting in the infinite rather than the finite for solution
and resolution.
