DON'T SWEAT THE BIG STUFF

Everyone knows not to sweat the small stuff.  Such reasoning is that if there is something we ought to worry over we should focus on things that loom larger. However, God would encourage us not to sweat the big stuff for He's also got that covered.

You know.  Big stuff.

Hefty clashes and setbacks.  Extreme disappointments.  Things like death for example. Big stuff.

God specializes in rebound.  He did it with His chosen people who were found enslaved centuries back.  He did it with Jesus assigned to the grave.  He did it with Paul and Silas when they were imprisoned...and then the earthquake came and the jail fell down.

We are likely to find ourselves in the midst of the big stuff.  Surrender to the fact that you don't know what to do with it.  Simultaneously, be assured God knows how to put it in its place.

Don't sweat the small stuff.  Neither do we need to sweat the big stuff.  God has us covered.
