Genesis 12:1-9

"The Lord said to Abram, 'Go forth from your country, and from your relatives and from your father's house, to the land which I will show you'" (Genesis 12:1).

No one would have blamed Abram if he immediately began making "To Do" lists upon hearing the Lord's awesome commission. After residing in Haran for 75 years, Abram would have had extensive details to care for and many ties to resolve.

The task for both Abram and Sarai must have been dizzying. Not only was the overall mission overwhelming, but they were also responsible for the daunting duty of caring for their entourage.

Great missions and trials are always accompanied by mountains of minutiae. In fact, sometimes it is the smallest detail that is the most devastating discouragement to the believer.

However, God cares for everything in our lives. R. A. Torrey counseled, "If our troubles are large enough to vex and endanger our welfare, they are large enough to touch God's heart of love."

You may believe that the source of your sorrows is too small to bring before God. However, the pathway of faith is trusting God for every facet and feature of your life. Have confidence that He cares for you even in the smallest issues, and you will find how abundant His great love for you really is.
