Default Little Things, Big Things

Little Things, Big Things

Cause me to hear Your loving-kindness in the morning, for on You do I lean and in You do I trust. Cause me to know the way wherein I should walk, for I lift up my inner self to You. Psalm 143:8

One of the ways I learned to trust God and hear His voice in the big events and decisions in my life was to hear Him in the little things. One time Dave and I got ready to watch a movie with some family members, but we couldn't find the remote control. We didn't know how to play the movie without it, so everyone searched diligently for it, but we still couldn't locate it.

I decided to pray. So I said silently in my heart, Holy Sprit, please show me where the remote control is. Immediately, I thought of the bathroom—and that's where we found it.

The same thing happened to me with my car keys. I had looked everywhere, but to no avail. Then I prayed, and in my spirit I saw the keys on the front seat of my car, which is exactly where they were.

These two stories are examples of a gift of the Holy Spirit called "word of knowledge" (see 1 Corinthians 12:8). God gave me words of knowledge concerning the remote control and my misplaced keys. This gift and others are available to everyone who is filled with the Holy Spirit. The gifts are supernatural endowments of power given to believers to help us live our natural lives in supernatural ways.

God loves us. He cares enough to speak to us (in my case, His "speaking" was to give me a thought about the remote and show me a picture or a vision about my car keys) about the little things in our lives. Just think how eager He must be to talk to us about the bigger things also.

From the book Hearing from God Each Morning: 365 Daily Devotions by Joyce Meyer.
