Since yesterday, I’ve been meaning to blog about how God is in the details and wanted to share specific scriptures that confirm how God is truly a very specific and detail-oriented kind of God.
For the past few weeks I’ve had a pile of clothes sitting on a chair in my room, at first it was clean clothes that I hadn’t put away. Then it just became a place where all my clothes were going at the end of the day. It got so chaotic that I stopped sleeping in my room altogether. Then I realized that one of the symptoms of this issue was that it was time for a change, one I needed new clothes. Now, I’m not much of a shopper so I try to shop in bulk semi-annually. And by shopping for clothes, I mean going shopping at a local thrift shop. Two, is that I need a new system of getting this task completed because how I’ve been doing it is no longer working for me.
One thing is that I feel so much lighter like a burden truly has been lifted off of my shoulders, instead of having to do yet another thing God reminded me about the laundry service that I pass by all of the time.
Packed everything last night and it was just a freshness getting up. I was able to pray and shower without rushing. I dropped off my laundry and it ended up costing less than I thought.
Side Note: Crazy, I get compliments on the way I think but I be struggling most of the time – like what are you talking about?!
Anyway. This is out of chronological order but I was talking about laundry and how instead of doing the same thing I used to do, something that isn’t working for me anymore, I outsourced my laundry. I know, I know, sounds crazy at first but as I packed up my clothes and prepared everything the night before, my room was cleared of the haunting pile of laundry that was there before. I physically went to bed, and even though it was after midnight when I fell asleep, I didn’t struggle to wake up early to drop my laundry off. With getting up earlier than usual, I spent unrushed time in prayer and in the word. Literally seeking God for wisdom because I clearly need it.
My entire day was such a breath of fresh air. Mind you, there were challenges throughout the day, and all of that stuff but I had peace and joy on the inside. I know this is a direct result of having space in my heart for God and His word. I didn’t think laundry had a connection with my relationship with God but it did. Everything is connected and God truly is in the details. He cares about the little things and everything in between. I’m thankful for the fresh anointing on my life and how God continues to mold and shape me into who He created me to be.
But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. – Luke 12:7 NKJV
For You formed my inward parts; You covered me in my mother’s womb. I will praise You, for I am fearfully and wonderfully made; Marvelous are Your works, And that my soul knows very well. My frame was not hidden from You, When I was made in secret, And skillfully wrought in the lowest parts of the earth. Your eyes saw my substance, being yet unformed. And in Your book they all were written, The days fashioned for me, When as yet there were none of them. – Psalm 139: 13-16 NKJV
