Does God care about baby poop?

So most of you know I have a 4 month old a home. He became ill and fussy. Nothing could console him. He hadn't pooped in 4 days and not a full poop in 2 weeks. Pediatrician had us giving prune juice and his mother taking probiotics to pass thru milk to him. Still he was miserable. No longer our happy baby.

As I held him praying I found myself asking God to touch his little body and let him poop as designed.

Then as I did so I found myself thinking. What an odd prayer! Does God care about poop? Can you even ask for that?

"The LORD is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him." (Psalms 103:13, NLT)

The father wants to know and cares about what bothers or hurts his children. So yes God cares even about baby poop. And just to prove he does he answered my prayer and we have a happy baby again.

Problems persist despite all our methods until we call out to God. There is nothing we cannot take to him.

the next batch of screwed up people

Often I am reminded of a past that would disqualify me. I have years and years of my life that drink and pills have stolen. I don't know what happened for so many of them. I don't know what was said or done. I do know they were nothing to brag about. I know I was a liar, a violent person, unloving, and judgmental.

As I sit here at almost midnight typing on my phone after finishing reading 1 Corinthians chapter 1-5, it hit me what a past Paul had.

Yet here he is trying to right the ship for the church at Corinth. Acting as a father would. Having kids myself I want better for them than I was. I think God saves some of us from our past so in the future we can have the understanding for the next batch of screwed up people.

I can say that much like Paul the man I was is no more. Only what I do for God will matter. Only God matters.
