Psalm 36:5-6

Psalm 36: 5-6 “God’s love is meteoric, His loyalty astronomic, His purpose titanic, His verdicts oceanic.
Yet in His largeness nothing gets lost; Not a man, not a mouse, Slips through the cracks.”

Often times we tend to look at our problems as huge in our own eyes, yet not quite big enough for the world. We hear of things much worse than our little personal problem, and feel bad for worrying so much about something so minute when compared with the world’s issues. I have to ask though, why? “Yet in His largeness nothing gets lost.” If we believe this is true, can we not say that our problems, no matter how insignificant in the light of someone else’s problem, is significant to God? Nothing gets lost. Your problem doesn’t escape Him, and isn’t too small for Him to notice. If even a mouse is kept from slipping from His knowledge, how could He ever overlook what you’re going through? So call out to Him! Stop thinking that your problem is a petty or a silly thing, because if it’s important to you, you can bet that it’s important to God. In Jeremiah 31:20 it says, “Oh! Ephraim is my dear, dear son, my child in whom I take pleasure! Every time I mention his name, my heart bursts with longing for him! Everything in me cries out for him. Softly and tenderly I wait for him.’ God’s Decree.” Read this passage again, and this time insert your name in the opening phrase, replacing Ephraim. If God is longing for you, crying out for you, then He wants to hear about the day-to-day struggles that you go through. We so often don’t cry out to God, and we overlook the power that comes from doing so. All of this is a trick, keeping our problems from God. Our problems aren’t that big of a deal, and we don’t want to complain or try to draw attention to ourselves. So we simply face our situation and learn how to accommodate it. If we only knew what would happen if we could change our attitudes, and fix this broken mentality. We’re meant to cry out to God with our problems, both big and small. Countless times throughout the Bible breakthroughs and victory’s came because people cried out to God. Nothing will change or get better if we don’t admit we need something fixed. Nothing will be transformed if we don’t cry out and call upon the name of the Lord. What would happen? What would happen if we cried out with every situation and circumstance in our lives? Breakthroughs? Deliverance? Victory? All I can tell you is that my God promises that He will hear us when we call, so why don’t we try and see how He answers.
