A first-time experience for me just a few years ago was to purchase gas in Mexico with a debit card. For years, I only used cash to avoid credit card fraud.
I should note that all gas stations in Mexico are Government-run full service, whether or not you wanted full service.
On this very rare occasion, I was not carrying a pen, so I borrowed one from the attendant, when I finished, just out of pure habit, without another thought I stuck the man's pen into my shirt pocket. About halfway to the town we were holding meetings that night, I realized my mistake. I began to think about the pen and how much it was worth to that man. All things being equal, if inflation were the same in America as in Mexico, that pen would be worth around 7-8 dollars. I made a mental note about it and decided to stop by the station the next day and find the man to return his pen.
A couple minutes later, I picked up some members of our ministry team that were headed to the meetings. As soon as one of the young ladies got into the truck, she said, "The Lord knows what you have in your possession that does not belong to you"
These simple words came to be some of the most profound prophetic words ever spoken to me.
He cares so much for the "little things". He sees all the "little things". There is no such thing as a small problem that He doesn't want to be involved in. There's no such thing as something little and seemingly insignificant that He is not aware of.
Are not five sparrows sold for two copper coins? And not one of them is forgotten before God. But the very hairs of your head are all numbered. Do not fear therefore; you are of more value than many sparrows. Luke 12:6-7
This speaks of our worth to God, He knows our tears, our sighs, our hurts, our victories, everything about us. He knows us better than we know ourselves!
Here I was alone in Southern Mexico, away from my family, and God brought this gentle reminder that He was with me, He sees everything, He wants to be at work in every part of my life.
Allow Him to be involved in every little detail... It will change everything!

Land in Southern Mexico!!
The leadership team in Southern Mexico reports that they have purchased
a piece of property in Emiliano Zapata, Tabasco, Mexico.
The property is not completely paid for yet, but we are applying for free
help with the City to fill-in and level the property. Pray with us for favour
with the City Government and funds to finish paying for the property and
to build a church in Emiliano Zapata.
This is a huge step for us. We have met in homes for many years and
have prayed for a property to open up for us in this City!
Thank you Jesus!
