Little Things

I love it when Jesus does things that are so obviously His work. It's like He gets great joy out of surprising us with unexpected things.

I was scheduled to speak at our church and as I was studying in preparation, I needed to locate a particular verse.  I could not recall the location of the verse so I took out my iPad to search for it. I opened my Bible app and stared at the list of Bible books.  I asked Jesus which book I should start with. Thinking it must be in Galatians or Ephesians, I went to click on Galatians, but my little finger accidentally pressed 2 Timothy.  So I paused and thought, Okay, I’ll try 2 Timothy. But which chapter?  I randomly chose the third chapter.  But now the iPad wanted me to select the verse.  I started with verse 1.  

And there, on my lit-up screen, was the very verse I was aiming to search for.  

It gave me chills to think that the God of the universe was so intimately connected with what I was doing that He decided to hand-deliver the very verse I needed.  I’m sure I would have eventually found the verse, so for some it might seem like such a little thing to have it pop up right in front of me.  But that goes to show, that with God, there are no “little” things.
