" Scripture teaches that the love and care of God extend to the details of our lives in a wide variety of ways... As characters such as Moses and Joseph looked back on their lives, no doubt they could see how seemingly trivial events- the many coloured coat, the cry of a baby in the bulrushes, the forgetfulness of a released prisoner- all contributed to the fulfillment of their God-given destiny."- Paul Helm, The Providence of God, 19.
Our church spent 42 weeks last year going through the book of Exodus. As we did so, I was floored at the way God's sovereign hand brought the redemption of his people to fruition. Reading this passage in Helm's book the other day reminded me of how the tiny things in life can eventually be key to the advancement of the gospel. Interesting to think what seemingly insignificant part of your day may be huge for the kingdom.
