Details, Details, Details

In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth.

Genesis 1:1 

 

My loving and longsuffering bride hates watching television with me because I pick out errors of detail.  

 

But think about this:  What kind of detail did God put into creating the universe and all that's in it?  Did He start with the tiniest detail and work His way out or did He start with the big picture and then fill in the details?

 

 God is the God of details!  For it is in His design that all the details function together to make life happen and possible.  Imagine if God had been putting Adam together and decided a brain was not needed.  Imagine if, when He put Eve together, God decided she didn't need a mouth.  How odd we'd look if God had not paid attention to the details.

 

Now bring this into your own life.  We aren't expected to be perfect, but we ARE expected to do our best!  God gave us the ability to know right from wrong, an intentional detail we are expected to exercise.  God gave us the capacity to love, an intentional detail we are expected to share.  God took great pains to make sure we are created to fulfill the specific mission He has for us, an intentional detail we are expected to execute.

 

God is in the details!
