TITLE: boulders and pebbles
DATE: October 24, 2013
SCRIPTURE: Ah, Lord God! Behold, You have made the heavens and the earth by Your great power and outstretched arm. There is nothing too hard for You.
Jeremiah 32:17
QUESTION: What problems in my life have I thought “too small” to turn over to God?
THOUGHTS: Quoting book, “He removes the boulders from out path and the pebbles from our shoe.”
Well today’s devotional is the first I’ve done in several days, because I was too busy worrying about the pebbles and holding them tightly in my own hands. So dear, question, to answer you, I do not turn over most of the small problems. Now granted, I am the girl who will cry out to God when I’m looking for something and then send an equally loud cry of rejoicing when the object/paper/thing is found. I am the girl who will cry out to God when I need something that could be considered small. Honestly as I type this out, I am realizing that I’m wrong. I give God all the little stuff and hold onto the big stuff. Those pebbles I was referring to aren’t pebbles they are large rocks maybe not boulders but huge rocks that I’m holding on to for dear life. So. I am admitting right now I don’t trust Him enough to turn over everything but I do turn over some stuff. So yea. Interesting realization right there.

I’ve decided that I will no longer be posting my prayers. Because while I did it originally to hold myself to remembering to pray once I read and reflected on it, I feel that it’s too impersonal. I’m in a personal relationship with God. I wouldn’t post a love letter on here to my husband. That is what the pray is, well the equivalent of. Those are words meant between Him and me. So forgive me. Those will no longer be a part of this devotion. However, I will say that I’m praying for forgiveness daily. Because in the word we are told, Paul died daily. So I need to too, because at best I’m a sinner who has been forgiven.
