Several months ago, we were given little vinyl signs saying, "Little is much in the hands of God," to place at strategic places around our home. We have two, one on the microwave and one on the base of our bedroom tv.
I've probably looked at them hundreds of times since they were placed and had many different thoughts about what they say...here are a few of the "thoughts:"
- my faith is sometimes small, but God can increase it
- my patience can be small, and my temper short; but God can increase my patience and curb my temper, if I can accept His proddings and help
- I can be a very small person, thinking bad thoughts and saying ugly things; but God loves me and discplines me because of that love...and takes me to higher thoughts and kinder words
- my wavering hope grows by leaps and bounds when I put my problems in the hands of God
- I am weak but He is strong
- humility is not a weakness but rather a strength
- All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small; all things wise and wonderful, the Lord God made them all
- a tiny splinter can cause great pain (both literally and figuratively)
- even a tiny child can have a great spiritual nature
- a smile means the world, to someone hurting
- even a small gesture of friendship means so much
- finding a penny is exciting!
- next time you hear "Happy Birthday" being sung, give the birthday person a crisp dollar and watch their face light up!
- buy a homeless person a hamburger...or give him/her a bottle of cold water...or a Coke...might just make their day!
- clean socks to a barefoot person make such a difference
- a tiny seed grows into a beautiful plant
- a word of kindness, a hug, an understanding word mean more than a speech
- write a note, send a text, ask how a person is doing...be a friend!
- on and on, we can go...the list is endless, the possibilities for good, as well
Yes, it doesn't take but a little to make much, in the hands of God.
Will you join me today is offering just a little something to someone? Then wait to see what big, wonderful things God will do with that small gesture! He won't disappoint.
