Lost Keys

It was the customary mad scramble out the door, "Kiss me I'm  running late," and then everything came to a halt. And then Vicki said, "Do you know where my car keys are?"  And we began the search for her keys.  Finally with time running out, I give her my spare key to her car and she takes off for work.

Continuing to search, I am having no luck, so I stop to pray. Within just a few seconds after the prayer. I walked straight to where her keys were at. Thanks God!

Later we met in town and she gave me my spare key back.  "I don't want to lose it," she said with a cute smile. We had dinner and hung out for awhile and I was driving home and realized, I don't know where the spare key is that she gave me.  I search around my car and nothing.  On the way home I am thinking about the key.  

When I pull in the driveway, I say a little prayer and ask God to help me once again to find a missing key. And once again, within seconds, I reach beside my seat, and there it is stuck between the two front seats.

Curious, I asked, "Father, why would you care about a missing key?" "Because it mattered to you," was His reply.

Its amazing sometimes how I can trust God with something as simple as a missing key... and yet somehow I am afraid to trust Him with other, more significant areas of my life. What would happen, I wonder, if I could truly, one hundred percent, trust God with the insecurities I deal with?  What would happen if I could truly cast my fears and cares upon Him?

I suspect, that if is He is faithful to help me in the little things, and He is...  that He would also be faithful to help me in the bigger things as well. And after all these years... little by little... I am learning to trust Him more.

May each day be an opportunity to move one step closer to the God who loves us!

Nice piece! So very true too! How else would God know how to fix our problems if we don't trust him enough to let him know all our worries. Big and small problems? The small ones can turn into big ones real fast if not prayed over!
