psalm39-4:

82/365

Today I found my iPod. Someone had turned it in at the library, and honestly, I had thought it was gone for good. God is faithful even in the little things. Tonight at Bible study, we discussed the time when God parted the Red Sea for the Israelites. They walked for miles with walls of water on both sides, trusting that God would protect them. I can’t even trust God to help me find my iPod. It seemed inconsequential, I guess. Like God is too big and too busy for me to bother Him by sending up a prayer for my iPod. And maybe that sounds dumb, asking God to return an item that I was irresponsible enough to lose, but it was the heart of the issue that struck me. I had no faith I would get my iPod back, zero. I had already resolved myself to getting by without it. I’m struggling over big things, like decisions about school, and hoping God shows me the way, when I can’t even trust Him in the tiniest of things. Then He practically dropped my iPod back in my lap, almost if saying, “Here, look at this. Look, Grace. I love you, and you have to believe me when I say I’ll provide. Sometimes, you have to let go of things so that I can bring them back to you.”
