This happened a long while ago during the summer holiday in Indonesia. I went to a youth church there and the speaker at that time told an odd yet amazing story. Yes, you reading this might think it's very odd, but this proves how God cares about the small detail in our lives.
He said that there was this instant when a man called him and told him that he dropped his Blackberry in the water. He went to the shops and specialist to repair it, but no one could do it. They told them it was broken and that he should buy a new one. So the point of him calling was to tell the pastor that he would soon change his number to a new one cause he would buy a new one.
Then the pastor asked him one odd thing.
"Have you tried praying to God?"
The man was taken aback and confused. Pray to God about a phone? That sounds weird..
"You can give it a try. I mean, there's nothing wrong with trying it, right?" the pastor insisted.
Finally the man gave in, and he told the pastor that he would try praying for it. With that, he closed the phone and the call ended.
The next morning, the man immediately called the pastor again.
"Hey, did you buy a new phone?" the pastor asked.
"No! I did what you told me to do! I prayed to God! And it worked!" the man answered in ecstasy. He was calling from the same phone that fell into the water; the phone that the world said could not be repaired, but God managed to do.
Amazing and odd, huh?
If you still don't believe me, here's my own personal testimony about it..
I have a hair straightener that I brought from US to Indo. It broke down because of different voltage. So I bought a new one from Indonesia. And after using it twice, it broke down as well. So then I remembered the testimony. There really was nothing wrong with trying to pray for it, even though I felt kinda weird and funny.
So I laid the two broken hair straighteners in front of me and started to pray for it. As I was done, I anxiously plugged them into the outlet in the hope that a miracle would happen. When I moved the button to 'on', it did not work. The straightener was still dead, both of them. I tried a few outlets in the house, and none of them worked. So I told my mom that we needed to go to the mall to exchange it since I still had the guarantee right.
When I was at the mall, I went to the customer service and said that I purchased this hair straightener there a few days ago, but it broke down for some reason. So the woman told me that they would take a look at it first. I handed it to them, they opened it and plugged it in. And guess what? It worked!!!!
"Seems like nothing's wrong with it," she told me.
I was still in disbelief and perplexed. I tried several times and home and it didn't work. And now it suddenly did! I thought that it might've just been their outlet, so when I was home, I tried to plug it in again. And it still worked!!!
It wasn't the outlet... It was God's doing!
This is why it is so weird and amazing! God can heal a country, God can heal the sick, and apparently, God can heal technology too! Our God is so up-to-date! He does care about the single smallest thing in our life! And he can perform miracles in so many ways!
"Even the hairs on your head are counted. So don't be afraid! You are worth much more than many sparrows!" - Luke 12:7
God cares about every single detail about us, what it is that we care about and need. As long as we pray to Him for help, believe that it will be done - no matter how weird it might be, God can do it!
