God cares about the smallest detail in your life. If it is important to you, it is important to Him.
The other night I discovered my satellite radio had added a "Love Songs" channel. I put it on
and a very romantic oldie (Endless Love) from the 80's came on. Leland and I dropped
everything and danced a slow dance right there in the dining room. It was so romantic, it
brought tears to my eyes, especially when remembering our first slow dance 14 plus years ago.
I imagine you are wondering what slow dancing has to do with God caring about the smallest
detail in our lives. So let me tell you a story of God's goodness.
The first Christmas after we were married, Leland's office had a Christmas party at the country
club. There was a live band and dancing. When the slow songs came on, we danced every
one. It was a very romantic time and one I enjoyed very much with my new husband.
Here is the important part: By his own admission, Leland could not slow dance. He had two
left feet. He wanted to impress his new wife so he prayed and asked God to teach him how to
slow dance with his wife. When we danced that evening, it was smooth and it was everything a
woman dreams of when dancing with the man she loves... and it still is to this day.
If God cares enough to teach a man how to slow dance with his wife, imagine how much He
cares about every little detail in your life. What is it you need? "...you have not because you
ask not" (James 4:2). When your heart is in the right place there is nothing you can ask God
for that He won't provide, including dancing lessons!
Some people set God up as some high-in-the-sky judge who doesn't get involved in our lives.
Others believe He only cares about salvation and nothing else. If you will only let Him in, God
cares about and wants to help you with every little detail in your life. Let Him!
