Application: Now how does this story relate to God and “little things”? Sometimes we think God doesn’t really care about things that we consider small and insignificant. Things that are not really considered in the mainstream as important; such as stopping and noticing a “lonely horse”, stopping to smell the roses, or something that doesn’t impact our lives greatly. You may think to yourself, “there are more important things I need to pay attention to or do at this very moment, than that!” But, God uses everything and sometimes He uses, what we think as insignificant, to show us how much loves His creation and show how faithful His love truly is. He loves to display His love to us!! The bible says, that even the smallest of sparrows are precious to Him but you and I have more worth to Him that anything else He has created. The thing is, YOU MUST BE WILLING TO STOP  AND BE WILLING TO LISTEN to Him!  Stop the busyness and put your focus on Him and who He what He is trying to communicate to you.

Scripture:   Let me share with you another story.  (Luke 10:38-42) : “While they were traveling, Jesusentered a village, and a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home. She had a sister named Mary, who also sat at the Lord’s feet and was listening to what He said. But Martha was distracted by her many tasks, and she came up and asked, ‘Lord, don’t you care that my sister has left me to serve alone? So tell her to give me a hand.’ The Lord answered her, “Martha, Martha, you are worried and upset about many things, but one thing is necessary. Mary has made the right choice, and it will not be taken away from her.”

Devotional Insight: In order for us to hear the Spirit’s calling and see God “In the little things”, we must know His voice! We must recognize our shepherd when he calls us to draw closer to Him, when He needs us to listen and learn what He has for us! That day, that I passed that pasture, I skipped my morning devotion because I was running late and didn’t have time, but usually I would begin my day reading and immersing myself in God’s word. God knew my heart, he knew my intentions and he knew that I had something to learn that day. Despite my rush, He knew I craved His presence! … So He had me “slow down and just listen”.
