Not So Common, Common Sense

Today was a most interesting day. I had it completely planned, trying to move, getting ready to send my daughter to a new school. Then the kitchen sink faucet thought it would be good to put as much water on the counter as in the sink. Yes, this created a change in plans. I was faced with the fact that I needed to have a kitchen faucet installed NOW, and I had never done this before. I was puzzled to understand why this would be happening. This lead me to a very practical comfort.

God is my help. This is not an ethereal, hypothetical, wishful kind of help. He can help me wash dishes, wash the car, clean the kitchen, finish my spreadsheet for work – God can help us in everything we do. I prayed and told God that I had never done this.. I needed help. He helped me find the right faucet, understand how to tighten it down without the right tool, and nothing leaked! Small stuff, right?

I think that is the point. God is there for us in everything we do – big or small. The really important part is that we make the decision to trust Him. That is really all we have to do. the rest is up to the main man – God.

Prayer
Father, wow, You are amazing! We praise and exalt You for just being You – our King. Thank You. In Jesus name. Amen.
