I was talking with Zach (our youngest son) on the phone recently. He was on an infantry training mission on some mountain in Southern California where he was able to get a cell signal. I was giving him a phone number to write down so he could contact one of his friends, and I could tell he was beginning to shift the phone and fumble around, accented by his words….. “shoot.” Then, “Ah, nuts.” I could tell he was just a bit distraught about something. I responded appropriately, Zach, what’s wrong? He explained, “I dropped my pen cap, it’s dark, and I lost it.” I laughed. Stress over a pen cap hit my funny bone, especially since Zach never gets stressed out. “But dad, you don’t understand. Those things are hard to acquire in the field.”

I sometimes take for granted the simple, common, and seemingly unnecessary things (like pen caps) in my world. Yet I realize that in some circumstances and environments, the simple might be the important. The unnecessary in some situations might be the critical in other circumstances.

I trust that God is providing all you need in Christ where you are today.

Phil 4:19-20
And my God will supply all your needs according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus. Now to our God and Father be the glory forever and ever. Amen.
