A lined exercise book
from Daily Picture · host Stephanie Hawkins
Today I saw lined paper from an exercise book that a child might have to use to practise writing letters. I remember disliking having to write repeated big letters; my instinct was to write small letters. This concurs with educator Maria Montessori's assertion that all children display human tendencies at a very young age, one being an attraction to what is small and detailed. Witness a young child on a walk; they won't be interested in any great expanse in from of them but, instead, in the little beetle, the flower's petals etc. God is in the fine details such as is seen in quantum physics which studies matter and energy at the minutest of levels. There are many bible verses which tell us that, such as Psalm 37:23 "The Lord directs the steps of the Godly. He delights in every detail of their lives". God wants to be with everyone but He gives us free will to accept Him or not. No prayer need is too small for God to respond to and no step He directs us to do is insignificant. God is in the detail as well as in the awesome expanse of creation.
