Ezekiel 41

Ezekiel 41 contains the details about the inside of the Temple as revealed to Ezekiel.  Anyone who thinks God is not a God interested in details needs to read this section of scripture.  It is down to the inch and gives a very specific design of what God intended.  God does care about the little stuff in our lives.  I have always liked the saying “don’t sweat the small stuff” but that should not be confused to mean that God doesn’t care about the small stuff – He does.  He cares about every aspect of your life and mine.  He cares about the birds of the air and the insects on your windshield.  OK – maybe not the insects – will have to ask that when I get to heaven.  But He has all those details in His hand and under His control.  We need to have faith in that and trust Him.  Had a conversation yesterday with a young man about faith.  He shared that he has never really trusted anyone other than himself, because he has no control over anything or anyone but himself.  Trust is a difficult thing for us to learn.  No human is likely worthy of it, but our God is absolutely trustworthy.  The thing we have to keep in perspective is that trust cannot be based on perfection of any person – all will let us down at some point.  God alone will be the only One whom we can have complete confidence in and know will never fail us!
