The value of small
August 18, 2017
Our culture values large, impressive, big stuff. Paychecks, technology, big brings prestige. Scripture, on the other hand values small. The prophet Samuel reminded King Saul that God chose him when he was small in his own eyes. I Samuel 15: 17. David killed Goliath with a small sling shot. Jesus fed thousands with a small boys lunch: a few fish and loaves of bread. A small mustard seed produces a big bush. A bit of yeast leavens a big lump of dough.
Important message: Don’t devalue a small skill you have or a small possession. God does great things with anything you make available to him. My small tailoring skill taught me by Grandma Hatie at our Singer treadle is the seed on which our tailoring projects with widows is founded.
