We often are tempted to wonder if God is there as he said, if he cares enough for us to help us even in what might be considered trivial matters We do not hesitate to call on St. Anthony to find a lost object for us, or to pray to our Guardian Angel and St. Christopher for a safe trip; their reputations are well established, but to call on the Creator for other than cosmic needs seems to belittle the Almighty.
Yet Jesus assures us: "Are not five sparrows sold for two small coins? Yet not one of them has escaped the notice of God. Even the hairs of your head have all been counted. Do not be afraid, you are worth more than many sparrows." (Lk 12: 6-7). I have found over the years that indeed God does care about the smallest details of our lives, working things out for us when they seem to be in an "inoperable" tangle. He can be the Master Travel Agent, the most effective retreat director, the best "ghost writer" we could ever find. The Hebrews saw God's intervention in everything, from drought to flood, from feast to famine. Seems simplistic, but Jesus didn't change that approach, but rather encouraged his followers to believe in it. May we not lose sight of the God of Details.
