It's the Small Stuff!

Our schedules seem to get busier & busier.  Often times I think this may be a mask (busyness).  When we tend to get still, are minds have time to reset and start to bring the important things in life to the forefront.   When our lives are going a million miles an hour; we find ourselves consulting God less & less over the small stuff we face each day.  We tend to consult Him, when a tragedy or misfortune comes our way.  One of God's greatest desire for us, is to have an intimate and personal relationship with Him.  We can't achieve that if we only come to Him when we need Him to bail us out of a bad choice or help us when we've reached a deep valley and see no way out.  Trust when I tell you He needs a good laugh, just like we do.  We are made in His image, if we are made in His image and they say laughter is great for our sole, don't you think God must love to laugh.  Have you ever just talk to Him and started laughing when you heard just how funny that must sound too Him.  He says bring it all to Him: the hurt, the emotional pain, the financial wows, the daily pressure that seems to rob us of our peace and even: the thank you's, the love, the laughter and daily small stuff.  We can't achieve an intimate and personal relationship we our Lord & Savior without talking about the SMALL STUFF!  Try it, it can turn a prayer time into some fun and intimate conversation.  May the Lord Rain Down From The Heaven's Above His Glory, Mercy and some Peace and Laughter into your daily routine.  Thank all of you who are starting your day with God's Cup of Coffee.

  1. Thank you for these words James. They helped me realize that I am guilty of going to God with the big things and trying to handle the small stuff myself. God wants it all. Thanks again.
