Big lessons from a ‘little’ issue

Recently, we lost the key to one of our cars. A relatively modest problem. But there was a big lesson in store for me as I quieted my thoughts, took a break from the frantic search, and began giving my full attention to prayer. Here’s how it all worked out.

I have always thought of “the casting of the net on the right side” as engaging in spiritual thinking. To drop what you are willfully doing, which is usually not working out anyway, and think metaphysically and spiritually.

Initially, when I first found out the keys were nowhere to be found, I began to pray a bit about the concept of loss. But I have to admit, I wasn’t yet giving my full attention to the spiritual truth and understanding involved in trusting God.
