Details

• Exo 26:9 -- (9) And you shall join the five curtains separately, and the six curtains separately. And you shall double the six curtains before the front of the tabernacle.
• Jos 6:4 -- (4) And seven priests shall bear seven trumpets of rams' horns before the ark. And on the seventh day you shall go around the city seven times, and the priests shall blow with the rams' horns.
• Jon 4:6 -- (6) And Jehovah God appointed a plant, and it came up over Jonah to be shade over his head, in order to deliver him from his misery. And Jonah rejoiced over the plant with great joy.
• Joh 21:6 -- (6) And He said to them, Cast the net into the right side of the boat and you will find.

If you're like me, then you tend to sweat the details. If I could just get past this staff meeting... or, if I could just kick this cold. Maybe this sounds more like it: when will I find the time to get the oil changed?

Do we pray about the details? Do we ask God to take care of the minuscule? Unfortunately, we tend to ask God to work His miracles by making general, blanket requests. "God, just help the day to go well!" That's okay, as most of the time He does help our day to go well. But it's also interesting to note that the little details that nag us do not go away.

Pray in detail. Don't let laziness come into play, either. Sometimes those blanket requests are out of sheer laziness - or we're in a hurry to get back to the TV. No wonder it is so easy to live a spiritually 'blah' existence. We should never be in a hurry to exit the presence of the King. (Read Esther)

For today, may the God of the universe show you that He is willing and able to take care of all the 'petty' details of your life!
