The Power Of little Things!

A drop of water, a grain of sand; how seemingly insignificant! Yet, without them, there would be no earth on which we stand. Our world is made up of little things. But little things, like molecules and atoms, make up the big things.
Jesus Christ affirmed the value of little things. He used little things to teach us. There was little Zacchaeus who caught the eye of the Master. It was Jesus who said, "Let the little children come to Me, and do not forbid them; for of such is the kingdom of heaven." (Mt 19:14) He also said, "But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea. (Mk. 9:42) A little boy with a few loaves and fishes, at the hand of Christ, fed thousands.

Jesus used little things for vivid visual aids to illustrate the approaching kingdom of God. Notice some of those little things; barn swallows, "the fowls of the air"; a small flower among the blades of grass, "Consider the lilies of the fields"; even a single human hair, "The very hairs of your head are numbered." Little things!
Christ declares the value of little things. Some things, true enough, are "mighty little", but some little things are ever so mighty. Words, for instance, are little things, but how potent is their power for good or for evil! A note or phone call to someone who is ill or hurting in some way can brighten and even transform that person's day.

Is prayer a little thing? The God of all creation is listening to our words as we pray. How then is prayer little? Yet not even our neighbor next door knows when we speak to God in prayer. An earthquake could rock our world and destroy our town, yet God would no sooner rush to that scene than He would to hear us when we pray. In prayer God, The Father fulfills His promise to meet with us, His beloved children.

Who but you can fill that seat in worship on the Lord's Day? Every rain that falls, falls one drop at a time. Every tear that falls is 'one' in its descent down that cheek. Yet together the tears tell of the dynamic emotions of that heart that sheds them.

A handshake is but a little thing, yet it can say more than ten preachers with eloquent speech. The embrace of two in love can mean more in that moment than six months of daily letters exchanged. The simple statement, "We understand," when meant and effectively communicated, towers far above the pretentious words of the friends of Job.

The total populace, from Adam to the last man to draw breath, will appear at the judgment seat of God, one at a time. Sinners have been coming to The Lord for centuries from every corner of the earth, but they have all come one at a time through endless lines since the day Christ's church began.
On the cross, they crucified man's greatest friend. He is only one, yet the One through whom the entire world has since been called, one at a time, to everlasting life. "Just as I am, without one plea" are very little words, but they speak of a mighty commitment. Though the quantity of a blessing may seem small, the effect is often beyond words. Genuine quality often comes wrapped in small packages. The intelligent goodness of God, like the ties that support the never ending rails of a railroad, comes to us moment by moment, one at a time.

Romans 11:33 "Oh, the depth of the riches both of the wisdom and knowledge of God! How unsearchable are His judgments and His ways past finding out!" (NKJV)
Do something 'Little' and watch God turn it into something mighty, something powerful. You may be little in your own eyes, but with Christ in you, you can accomplish much for His glory! Little things! They are clothed in absolute splendor! They are the mighty work of God!
