This is just another example of how much God cares about every detail of our lives!! I have been listening and therefore hearing from God more and more lately.
Yesterday... Oh man yesterday. It was a normal trip to the grocery store, trying to juggle 3 kids and of course my friend calls me when we get there. Any sane person would have called her back but I so enjoy talking to my friends and knew chances are I would forget if I ignored her call. So I'm on the phone, in the grocery store with 3 kids under 5. Crazy. My daughter accidentally hit a gentleman with her basket and he gives this disgusted look, my girls are going in two different ways as I'm trying to wrangle them. Typical trip.
Until I got to the spice aisle. I picked up some garlic I knew we needed. I heard thyme, so of course I look and find the thyme but didn't grab it. I don't use it and rarely see it in a recipe I want to use. I hear thyme in my head again but dismiss it.
Fast forward to today. I'm making some fish and find this awesome new recipe to try. One of the ingredients is, you guessed it, thyme. Now it didn't hit me right away. It wasn't until I was rummaging through my spice cabinet that I realized I don't have any. And then it hit me. I froze for a few seconds recalling how I had heard to buy it at the store the night before. The night before when I had no idea what I would be doing today. But God knew, and He told his a Holy Spirit to tell me. But I ignored it.
WHAT? God cares about me having the right ingredients for a recipe. Crazy. I know. And if I hadn't experienced it, and other similar moments, I would agree with you. But I know it's true. And if he knows the hair count on my head why wouldn't he care about me having what I need on a daily basis.
God you are so good, and you care so deeply. Help me to care as much as you for those you've put in my life! I praise your Holy name! Amen!
