Even in the Smallest Things: A Reflection on God’s Greatness
The other day something simple happened that caused my heart to well up with tears. They were not tears of sadness, but tears of awe.
I watched my dog, Abby, try to jump onto the bed. At first, she got too close and couldn't quite make it. But without any instruction, she instinctively backed up, took a running start, and leaped onto the bed successfully. She was motivated to do so because she wanted to be near me for comfort.
No one ever taught her to do that. Yet somehow, she knew that if she created enough distance, she could make it.
And in that simple ordinary moment, I was overwhelmed by the extraordinary greatness of God and His creative design. How He gave animals built-in knowledge for survival and adaptation. Proverbs 30:24-28 talks about how even tiny creatures like ants and lizards have amazing God-given wisdom.
The same God who spoke the stars into existence (Psalm 33:6);
The same God who formed the mountains and commands the seas (Psalm 95:4-5);
He is the One who placed wisdom, instinct, and the ability to adapt even into the smallest of His creatures (Psalm 104:24).
If He would so carefully design a dog to solve a problem how much more has He equipped us for the challenges we face?
If He cares about giving animals the instincts they need, how much more does He care for us, whom He made in His own image? (Matthew 6:26-30)
God’s greatness is not only seen in the vastness of the galaxies or the wonder of a sunrise.
It’s revealed in moments like that — through the subtle wisdom He embedded in creation and in the little things we rarely notice.
Today, I am reminded:
Nothing about God’s creation is random.
Nothing in my life is forgotten.
The God who designed the stars and filled the oceans is the same God who fills the smallest creatures with His brilliance and who fills my life with His love, His guidance, and His care.
May I never lose my wonder.
May I never overlook the everyday glimpses of His greatness.
Even in the smallest things, He is faithful.
Even in the smallest things, He is glorious.
Thank You, JESUS, for coming into my life. Thank You for saving me!
