YOUR LITTLE

Have you thanked Him?

Have you praised Him?

Have you made it your priority to agree and cooperate with Him today?

Have you taken that deep breath and listened for what He has for you today?

1 Timothy 2:1 (The Message)

^1-3The first thing I want you to do is pray. Pray every way you know how, for everyone you know.

There is a wonderful old song called “Little IS MUCH WHEN GOD is in it.”

A profound little title huh? But let me tell you it is a title loaded with truth!

Often we think that our “GOD STUFF” needs to be grandiose and huge. We need bombastic events and months of planning. We rent arenas and make up flyers. We advertise and promote. We higher musicians and string up lights. We heighten the anticipation for a big GOD sighting.

Yet more often, GOD operates in the little things.

The blessing of a donated turkey from one family to another in need; GOD is in that.

A warm coat given to a less fortunate child; GOD is in that.

An open door to a family in crisis; GOD is in that.

And yes, while Jesus was good at the biggies no doubt (I give you Lazerus and that whole water and wine gig), He always understood the power of “little”.

Matthew 10:42

And if you give even a cup of cold water to one of the least of my followers, you will surely be rewarded.”

I believe that sometimes we lean too much on the “big” when Jesus encouraged our “littleness”.

Matthew 19:14

Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”

The KINGDOM of HEAVEN?

Little IS much WHEN GOD IS IN IT!

5 loaves and 2 fish were little. With GOD in it, it became a feast.

A band of 12 misfit friends was little. With GOD in it they changed humanity.

A baby in a manger was little. With GOD in HIM He rewrote eternity.

GOD does some amazing things with the little.

A GODLY attitude with the cashier today at Starbucks could brighten someone’s day.

A little extra tip left in Jesus name to a frazzled waitress can make immeasurable change.

A little time in prayer spent with someone mired in a mess can infuse much needed hope and turn a situation around.

An inspired phone call may be just what is needed to pull someone from the ledge of death.

How do I know?

Because each one of those examples are REAL!

Lives are changed with the seemingly little. Trust me.

So don’t you discount the impact that you can have today with YOUR LITTLE.

When GOD is in it, little IS MUCH.

I love you all.
