The Little Things

It is Amazing the light that one small candle can give. Little Things Matter!

An Amazing Fact: The first step in constructing a bridge over the Niagara Falls Gorge was made by a 15-year-old American named Homan Walsh. On January 30, 1848, Homan flew a kite he named Union from one side of the gorge to the other. Someone on the opposite side caught the kite and tied a stronger string to the end of the kite string, and Holman pulled the new, thicker string back across the gorge. The process was repeated with an even stronger string, then a cord, then a thin rope, then a thicker rope, and eventually, a steel cable, which crossed the expanse and was strong enough to support workers, tools, and materials. Finally, a sturdy bridge, over which trains and trucks could easily pass, was completed. And it all began with a string. 

Luke 16:10

10 “The one who is faithful in a very little thing is also faithful in much; and the one who is unrighteous in a very little thing is also unrighteous in much.

We see in this scripture that the little things matter! It is often that the little things are never seen, yet God sees them and it matters to him. More times than not, it is the little things that make the biggest impact. We should remember what we do for the Lord even though it may seem small it is very important to God. Little is MUCH when God is in it!

Samson took the jawbone of a donkey and killed a thousand men. Judges 15:15. You see the bone was not that big, but when used for God's purposes, he blessed Samaon and anointed him and used the thing that was small compared to the number of enemies he faced; to accomplish a great victory.

Remember we must be faithful with the little things in order to see the greater things that God has in store for us.

One last thought. We must be careful about the little sins of this world. Song of Solomon 2:15 tells us that it is the little foxes that ruin the vines, meaning that if you don't deal with the "little sins" in your life, they will end up destroying your life. As God convicts you about the little sins, just repent, lay them down, turn from them, and begin walking with Jesus. He will turn your life around for the good and believe me you will be glad you did.
