You’ve no doubt heard the phrase, “The devil’s in the details”? I’ve used it myself on occasion.

This morning I had a little bit of peace and quiet before everyone else in the house got up (we had a late night). I spent that time reading some Scripture and spending some time with God. It is Christmas Eve and I was thinking about how commercialized and materialistic I and my kids can get this time of year. I love presents…there, I said it. I love getting them and I love giving them. And I was reminded by the Spirit that He gave us the best present of all…Himself, in the form of a little baby boy.

So what does this have to do with details? Psalm 37:23…

 The steps of the godly are directed by the LORD.
He delights in every detail of their lives.

Did you hear that last line? I did this morning and it hit me like a ton of bricks (OK, maybe one brick but who’s counting?). God cares about every detail of our lives. Not only does He care about them…he delights in the detail of our lives!  God is truly enthralled by you and me. Why? I have no idea, but He does.

So, you could really say that “God is in the details”…the details of our lives. That’s something to celebrate…and might just be the reason He came in the first place? Something to think about…

Merry Christmas
