Don’t take these details and others for granted. Some may say, “Don’t
sweat the small stuff.” But within these and other details we discover

by accident or chance, but by design and order.
“The devil in the details” may trouble some, but not those of us who
believe and trust God’s word. Genesis 1:1-30; Hebrews 11:1-3
