Exodus 23.25 (NIV)
Worship the Lord your God, and
his blessing will be on your food and water.

The things that make God dear to us are not
so much His great big blessings as the tiny things, because they show His
amazing intimacy with us; He knows every detail of our individual lives.*

In
Bible college I learned about God’s specifications for building and decorating
the tabernacle. I thought it was a waste of time to study the colors, dimensions and
materials used in the house of worship (and I was especially unenthusiastic
when we had to draw a poster of the whole project). Did you know that God
ordered intricate decorations for the tops of the pillars in the temple where
only he could fully appreciate the workmanship?* He is the same
God who told each tribe in the wilderness exactly where to camp and exactly what items
to carry.*
By the time my poster project was completed, I came to appreciate that we worship a
God who cares about details. It is no small thing that the Creator of the
universe is interested in the small things. What could be more basic
than our food and water? How can we think that our God doesn’t care about us
when he has promised, not just to provide food and water, but to bless them?

A continual
awareness of God’s presence in the midst of our daily activities can keep our
thoughts and actions habitually righteous.*
