If God will not let one of his faithful servants lose an iron axe head, surely he is just as concerned for you and for your needs. Surely, your salvation is a far greater matter than a lost axe head; yet it is accomplished by the same God. Can you not say, “I trust in Him and His son Jesus Christ for my salvation?” It is the same God who saves you and the same God who is involved in a seemingly trivial, incidental thing … a lost iron axe head. This is our God. Do you feel a pull on your heart to serve him more faithfully in the light of His great faithfulness and saving power and grace? Do we not pray with significance for God to give us this day our daily bread? May our hearts be set upon Him and may we serve Him faithfully all the remaining days of our lives.
