Where is God? In the Details

I was reading through Numbers 6 and 7 a few days ago and learned this…

God is in the details.

God was in the details of creation,
God was in the details of the tabernacle,
God was in the details of the sacrifice,
God is in the details of our lives,
God is in the details of our church.

God is a God of details.

We know that God has the hairs on our heads numbered
that he knew us before we were born.

God cares about the details.

It’s important that we do the same.

That we check the details of ourselves,
that we examine the details of what we lead,
that we notice the details.

  • When God seems far away, it may be in the details.
  • When God is blessing, it may be in the details.
  • When things are crumbling, it may be in the details.
  • When you’re gaining influence, it may be in the details.
  • When your faith is growing, it may be in the details.

I don’t know what the details are in your life, but check em,

because…..

God is in the details.

      God is in the details, not as coffee is in the cup, but “as the cause of the being of all things.” (Aquinas, Summa theologia I, Q.8)

  2. I am so thankful that God is in the details, and that every detail is of importance to Him!

  3. Great post Jonathan! I think when we understand just how much God truly desires us and is involved in our lives, we definitely see Him in the details of everything we do.

  4. Great post, Jonathan.
    When God is in the details we don’t have to worry about them.

    So true, but so often I find I don’t “get” the details until further down the road in life. I’m in a season of trusting God with the details of my life right now, looking back on past history and drawing encouragement in how He’s been faithful in the past with the details.

  6. Great thoughts!

  7. Oh, wow, I love this concept!! Yes. You nailed it!

  8. Awesome post Jonathan! Sure God is in every single detail in our life no matter how big or small it is! He is always there.

    Thanks for sharing. :)

    God is in all your details up in yo bithness….in the delays the interruptions…in the blessings..in the pruning in the discipline…during the night shift while you sleep…in the sunshine with His joy in the rain and sadness of your pain. Was you weep….buttering your jams…deleting your sins in forgiveness and your spam..How can you undo what God

  10. It’s always good to know that God cares about the little stuff as well as the big stuff. It makes Him involved in the whole enchilada!
