What if...?

I'll keep this short and sweet. Something to chew on a little bit!

What if God said this to you, "Is my infinite-ness and greatness not infinite and great enough to hand the minor or petty things in your life?"

Well, He said that to me. In context and how it looks for me is something along these lines:
I need a parking space. If you happen to know where I am currently living, you know that it is no small task to find a parking spot. Especially on a weekend night.

My mental process = Oooo. a test of patience... I can handle this. I'll scout out a spot even if it takes all night!!!! *sees a spot open up just in time for a different car to pull in* 'Jerk!!'

And on it goes.

Then it hit me. No.... it couldn't be! Was I possibly denying God an opportunity to bless me by taking control? Was I somehow thinking that He was either too busy or too apathetic to provide me with a parking space? I know his has the CAPABILITY to do such things...but why didn't I submit such a small thing to Him and just take control of it myself...especially when He is so very able to bless me with a place to park.

So I started asking Him, "God, you know my needs, but would You please show me a place to park this car?"
And since then...every time, there has either been a car leaving the parking lot, or a space came into my view within 5 minutes....which (so you get an idea) is a miracle. He is so so good.

What the case for you?
Is there something small that you need to trust God with? Will you allow Him to be that provider that is full of endless blessings and grace toward you? Can you see that His infinite-ness goes both ways -concerning the tiny as well as the huge things?

I'm still processing this and God continues to change my perspective of Who He Is.

Is God's infinite-ness and greatness not infinite and great enough to handle the little things as well as the big things that go on in your life? Are you willing to let His blessings permeate every single area of your day to day life?
