I think we are pretty good at seeing God's sovereignty in big things - our job, a change of career or something similar, but one of things the Bibel keeps presenting us with is the sovereignty of God over the little things. Take for example Saul, God is sovereign over teh donkeys getting lost, which way they wander, which way Saul and his servant search, their ending up near Samuel's town, Saul's servants thinking, his 'just happening' to have a coin in his pocket. Or take the book of Ruth - God is sovereign over who Naomi's sons marry, over their going back to Bethlehem, over Ruth 'just happening' to glean in Boaz' field and so on. God is sovereign over the little everday mundane moments in our lives. That is incredibly important for us to realise because it means that nothing in our day will be wasted. No day is ever a day over which God is not sovereign. It means I can face each day confident in my loving heavenly Father's care.
