Small Things

Isaiah 60:22
The smallest family will become a thousand people, and the tiniest group will become a mighty nation. At the right time, I, the Lord, will make it happen.”

When the Lord says he will make something happen, we should be listening. What a mystery God is. God chose a people that was ordinary by our standards. There was nothing great or awesome about them, but God knew they would be the people He would send His son Jesus into the world. In fact, the Israelites were enslaved by Egypt until God told Moses to free His people. God used these people to do something that was considered to be impossible.

God uses the small things in life to give Him glory. God will take a situation that seems to be completely impossible and will make it possible. The only way the Israelites were going to be free was by God's provision. Moses led God's people out of Egypt and God ultimately led His people to the "Promise Land." It wasn't without a lot of difficulties and some rebellion by God's people though. Like us a lot of times, we seem to easily forget what God has done in our lives. We need to remember what God has done even in the small things.

Jesus said if we can't be faithful in the small things, than how can we ever be faithful in the greater things of life? We have to be willing to do the small things in life. It might not get you famous or get you a pat on your back, but God sees everything and will bless you accordingly. God used the smallest nation to be one of the most power-fullest. God uses our weaknesses and turns them around and makes them our strengths. When we figure out what our weaknesses are don't let it get you down, but let God give you the strength so he can use it for His glory.
