Someone asked me last night after our service, “Do you ever grow weary?” I replied, “don’t we all?” Admittedly there are many times when I grow weary. Relationship, ministry, and life require effort, and my flesh still remains. In selfishness, I believe, I will sometimes wonder what it matters, or why bother putting in the effort.
I am thankfully reminded that God is not like this. He does not grow weary. He never stops carrying about the details that do not seem to matter but do. He cares right down the the slugs on the bottom of the ocean floor. (ht:tc)


What creativity and beauty in something that seems to be so insignificant. God did not grow weary or fail to care about the details of a bottom feeder that we would fail to see without all this high powered equipment. I believe this demonstrates many things but let me list two. God cares infinitely about details, including the details of our lives. If he cares about fields and birds and slugs, how much more does he care about us? God cares infinitely about his glory. All created things are to reflect the glory of God. Look at the wonder and beauty of the slug. We too are to join in reflecting the beauty and majesty of the glory of our God in our existence.
