The Little Things

2 My help comes from the LORD, Who made heaven and earth.

Psalm 121:2

1 Behold, the LORD'S hand is not shortened, that it cannot save; neither his ear heavy, that it cannot hear:

Isaiah 59:1

7 Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:

8 For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.

9 Or what man is there of you, whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

11 If ye then, being evil, know how to give good gifts unto your children, how much more shall your Father which is in heaven give good things to them that ask him?

Matthew 7:7-11

The Lord is not forgetful in ALL of our requests. The little things in our lives mean just as much to Him as those all-important matters. We received this testimony from a brother who asked the Lord for something that may seem small, but it produced a testimony for tens of thousands of people to enjoy. 

For many years now, we have had carpenter bees that bore holes in the framework of our home. They are very territorial and even pest control did not have the answer. My grandchildren were afraid of them, as they would buzz them when they were on the patio. I had sprayed pesticides, but to no avail. Just like clockwork, they showed up every spring.

This year I was sitting in the rocker on the patio watching these destructive creatures, when I began to have a conference with the Lord about my perplexing problem. I asked the Lord, would it be possible if He could redirect them to another location like some old abandoned building?

To my astonishment I noticed not seeing them for several days. I then told my wife (O, me of little faith). She said she thought it was funny, she had noticed they were not around.

We now have a strong tie post every time that we walk out on the patio that our God answers prayer: NO MORE BEES TO BE SEEN! Praise the Lord; we are so thankful. He is concerned about all things that affect us.

Who else could redirect nature, but The Master!
