Several years ago Vice President Dan Quayle was on the campaign trail in
Champaign-Urbana, Illinois for then-Representative Lynn Martin. Organizers
of the political rally got schoolchildren excused from school for the
motorcade parade for the Vice President. They encouraged the youngsters to
wave and cheer when the motorcade came by, and they did. They indeed did
wave and heartily cheer. The only trouble was the first motorcade to come
by was a funeral!
Details make a difference. Jesus paid attention to details. In the push
of the crowd, Jesus asked His disciples "who touched me?" They said how
could they tell with such a large crowd pushing against them? The smallest
of details never got past Jesus. For you today, don't take for granted the
small details of your life. If you don't, mistakes can be made.
