The God of very small things
We often think of God as the God of very big things - as creator of the mind-boggling vastness of the universe. However, it is also important to remember that he is also the God of very small things - that he has created and knows inside-out the structure and make-up of every atom and every sub-atomic particle, and every movement of every atom and sub-atomic particle within the vastness of the universe.
My mum was crtically ill about twenty five years ago having suffered a very signficant brain-bleed. The only option, as the doctors could not operate, was to wait for her body to heal the rupture in the brain, and so to close-up the bleed naturally. If this closure didn't happen then, we were told, she would die, given the severity of the bleed. Of course, I prayed, initially full of anxiety, but then I was given a vivid picture of the God of very small things - that he not only governed the vastness of the universe but he also governed its smallness. I then saw that he was directing every single atom into the right place at the right time to enable my mother's healing - nothing was out of control, and nothing was forgotten. She is now 75 years old, having completely recovered from the bleed. I saw her last week, and gave her a big hug, as my father died in his sleep a few days previously at the age of 82 - I also praised the Lord for his grace and mercy in our family's life, and the blessings he gave my mum and dad's relationship during their over 55 years of marriage.
