Nothing is Too Small

"Look at the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they? Which of you by worrying can add one cubit to his stature?" ~ Matthew 6:26-27

“And do not seek what you should eat or what you should drink, nor have an anxious mind. 

For all these things the nations of the world seek after, and your Father knows that you need these things. 

 But seek the kingdom of God, and all these things shall be added to you." 

~ Luke 12:29-31

I've been reading a book by Martyn Lloyd-Jones on John 17 titled: The Assurance of Our Salvation ~ Exploring the Depths of Jesus' Prayer for His Own". 

This quote from it fits in well with the verses in this post:

"So as we come into the presence of God with our requests and our petitions, let us never fear to bring the details, for nothing is too small for God's loving care and attention.  He is interested in us as a father is in a child, everything about us is of the greatest interest to Him.  Read again the Sermon on the Mount and you will find that our Lord says that in an extended form in Matthew 6 where He uses the argument about God clothing the lilies and caring about the birds of the air.  Nothing, He says, happens to them apart from God, so how much more is He interested in you and me, and in everything that happens to us, and everything that is connected with the minutest detail of our lives. 'In nothing be anxious,' writes the apostle Paul.  It does not matter what it is (he uses the most all-inclusive word he could have chosen).  'In nothing be anxious; but in everything  - there it is again! - 'by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known unto God' (Phil 4:6, RV)." -Martyn Lloyd-Jones
