Little Is Much When God Is In It

Little Is Much When God Is In It
We all say we have too little time to do what God wants us to do. Or that we have too small ability to do what God needs to get done. We have all heard the story how Jesus fed 5000 with just 2 fish and 5 loaves of bread. We all learned how a shepherd boy with a sling and rock killed a giant. It is the little things in life that make the big things work. Let us look for a minute at some of the little things and what God with them.
The mustard seed is but a tiny seed yet when God directs it becomes a large tree that gives shelter to the birds and shade to man. With just a little faith about the size of that same mustard seed God said we could move mountains. In the eyes of a little child God shows us the love of heaven. Look at Mark 10:14 “Suffer the little children to come unto me, and forbid them not; for of such is the kingdom of heaven.” God also used a small boy to carry lunch for 5000 men. He used 12 insignificant men to turn the world upside down. So truly little is much when God is in it. Paul even spoke about changing something small into something big when he said, “A little leaven leaveneth the whole lump.” Gal 5:9
God always works with the little things. All through the bible we can find where God used the little things to do the great things. When Israel was about to cross the Jordan rived after forty years of being lost in the desert it only took one small step of the priest carrying the ark to part the waters. It took but a few small musical notes and following Gods instructions to bring down the walls of Jericho. Two men with two swords and faith in God turned the tide of battle and helped set Israel free.
So you see no matter how small you think your talent is or how small your gift might be God can turn it into something big. God is a master at taking the little things and doing great things with them. What little thing do you have that you would like God to use for something great? Oh by the way you got to give Him what you have before He can use it.
