God is in the details.

My friend Rev.David LeRoy used to tell me that God is in the details. He mentioned this to me almost every time we talked with one another. I was reminded of his words again the last few days. 

While Beth and I were headed to the doctor when all of a sudden she yelled: “deer” and the next thing I knew Bambi had come face to face— or face to side— of my car. Smashed it pretty hard. So hard in fact that it had been written off by the insurance company. 

let’s back up just a little bit— I had been complaining that getting in and out of my car had been getting more and more complicated; falling in and climbing out; but I knew that we were in no position to upgrade our transportation. Plus, I had finally gotten to the point where our car had been modified with awesome lights and other features that made it a delight to drive; but as i said it had been difficult to get in and get out of. 

So when Bambi hit our car it was almost as if a door had been opened to allow us to upgrade our transpiration, and we were able, thanks in good part to our insurance pay-out, to get into a Rav4, a pretty sweet ride. 

Now, did God cause Bambi to hit our car. well, that depends on your theology, but I do know that He was with us in the details of the whole ordeal, working everything out, right down to the last detail. Reminds me of Romans 8:28:Ro 8:28 “And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.” (NIV) God was at work in this situation, As He is at work in every situation, and He is in the details.
