"Is not this enough alone
For the gladness of the day?"

But many of us have an inner feeling that some matters are too small, too
trivial to take to God. We will take the great things, the serious things
to Him and find the help needed. But it seems childish almost to be
bothering the great God about trifling details, we are apt to think. We
are even annoyed with ourselves to think that we have allowed such petty
things to make us lose our balance and control. We want to underscore and
italicize this fact: _if a thing is big enough to concern you, it is not
too small for Him "because He has you on His heart_." For _your_ sake He
is eager to help in anything, however small in itself it may seem.

Indeed it is the little things that fret and tease and nag so. The big
things are more easily handled. But the little insectivorous details that
will not down! Have you ever had this experience? You have retired on a
hot summer night, tired and heavy with sleep. You are almost off when a
mosquito that in some inexplicable way has eluded all screens and nettings
comes singing its way about your face. It is just one. It seems so small.
If it were only big enough to hit, something worthy of one's strength. But
the mean little nagging specimen seems to elude every effort of yours.
Maybe you take calm, deliberate measures to end its existence, but
meanwhile you are thoroughly aroused and lose quite a bit of the sleep you
need.

Just such a mosquito warfare do the little cares make upon one's strength,
frittering it away. It cannot be too insistently repeated that whatever is
big enough to cause me any thought is not too small for my God. He is
concerned because I am concerned.

It helps immensely here to recall the necessary qualities of a great
executive, one who is concerned about the conduct of large affairs. There
are two great qualities absolutely needful in any one occupying such a
position. There must be the ability to grasp the whole scheme involved,
and to keep one's finger upon every detail, as well. God is a great
executive, _the_ great executive of the universe. He planned the vast
scheme of worlds making up the universe, and every detail. The whole
universe in its immensity, and the intricacy of its movements, is kept in
motion by Him. And every detail down to the smal
