God's Miracles Big and Small

Today when the alarm went off at 5:30 A.M., Russ hit the button but it wasn't the snooze button it was the TURN IT OFF button.  When we he woke up the next time, it was 6:40 which was when we usually are already half way to Pontotoc.  We don't have an operational  "hurry mode" right now so we decided to take a half day and go in at 11:30.  Just that little bit of extra time really helped our tired bodies.  I'm glad God takes care of the details.  He knew we needed rest but he also knew we wouldn't take the time off on our own.  Our God supplies ALL of our needs...and often in very unusual ways.  When you look for a miracle don't expect it to always be something big and showy (although our God created the universe).  He sometimes uses the common things and the unexpected (after all our Savior was born in a stable). 

There is no way our minds can wrap around how our God does the things he does.  It will really hurt your head if you even try and figure out the differences in how God thinks and how man thinks.  The best we can do is to have faith that he is capable of anything, he is in charge of everything and he knows what is best for us.  Then if we try to follow the example of Jesus and live the way he has mapped it out for us we don't have to even worry about what God is doing in our lives...we just know that he's got it all under control with eternity in mind.  Now especially when I'm living on auto-pilot it's such a blessing and comfort to know that God is in control and can guide me through this storm just as he has so many in previous years.

I thank God for his perfect timing in all things...even the time that we'll wake up to go to work!
