Two recent examples of God in the small things:

1. I decided I would not buy Skillet’s new album so we could track expenses better over the next few weeks. I wanted to be sure we were honoring God in our spending. The next day, a friend offered me a free code for a download of the album (did I mention I really wanted it badly?) that he had received in the mail.

Wow! What a great blessing.

2. Tuesday night we took the kids out to a local metro park for swimming and outdoor dinner. While attempting to get a charcoal fire going, I failed several times (and wasted a lot of matches in the process). I decided to give it one more shot.

I made a big pile in the grill, doused it with lighter fluid, then waited a couple minutes. Then I called the kids over, and we prayed. After several minutes we had a fire to cook hotdogs!

I hope these stories encourage you not to forget that God is active, even in the small things. Don’t forget to rely on Him all the time. He can definitely help when things don’t seem to be going your way!
