What can be a better companion than a book during train travel? I was reading a spiritual book while traveling, and it contained the following passage: God will not get tired of giving attention to the small details of our lives. As much as He worries about the big picture, like what you will become in the future or where you will live as a family, God has time to listen to our everyday work. Are you working in the kitchen? That is surely creative work. Include God in your work. He cares about you doing it right. The author said God cares about the details you put into your stitching. He helps you do it right. Be it anything, do it along with Him. He helps, encourages, and corrects. The Holy Spirit is our friend and comforter. We don't need to live our lives alone or handle our challenges alone. He is the God of details. Psalm 139 says, "For it was you who created my inward parts; you knit me together in my mother's womb. I will praise you because I have been remarkably and wondrously made." He is our Creator, the master knitter, the remarkable and wonderful worker. Let others see Him in your work. He is interested in participating in all the details of our lives.
Dear God, be with us every minute of the day, guide our hands in every work we do. May what we do have your touch in it. May it be remarkable and wonderful. In Jesus' name, we pray. Amen.
