LITTLE THINGS

I wonder how many little Miracles, which aren’t really little at all, that the Lord does for us each and every day behind the scenes that we don’t even notice that much? Like making you take a wrong turn, and go a different route while driving, and avoid a terrible wreck, which he did for us the other night. The Bible says; Despise not the day of small things (Zechariah 4:10). Little is much if God is in it. “Where is the wise? Where is the scribe? Where is the disputer of this world? Hath not God made foolish the wisdom of this world? (1Corithians 1:20). Also the strong and smart, he sometimes has a hard time using, unless he can get them out of the way in their own minds, so that no flesh can glory in his presence. “Because the foolishness of God is wiser than men; and the weakness of God is stronger than men. For ye see your calling, brethren, how that not many wise men after the flesh, not many mighty, not many noble, are called:  but God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty; and base things of the world, and things which are despised, hath God chosen, yea, and things which are not, to bring to nought things that are: that no flesh should glory in his presence.” (1 Corinthians 1:25-29). “Now when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, and perceived that they were unlearned and ignorant men, they marvelled; and they took knowledge of them, that they had been with Jesus.” (Acts 4:13) The devil trembles when he sees the weakest saint upon his knees. This is Gods idea of strength. It was said of Sampson “wherein lies your strength”? (Judges 16:6).Apparently he was not a physically strong looking person in the flesh, but God gave him great physical power ( as long as he obeyed God) to kill 1,000 of the enemies of his people the Philistines at one time with the jaw bone of an ass, and he even killed more in his death after his enemies put out his eyes, than in his life, when he destroyed the Temple of Dagon. God told Jeremiah:Then said I, Ah, LORD GOD! behold, I cannot speak: for I am a child.  But the LORD said unto me, Say not, I am a child: for thou shalt go to all that I shall send thee, and whatsoever I command thee thou shalt speak.  Be not afraid of their faces: for I am with thee to deliver thee, saith the LORD. Then the LORD put forth his hand, and touched my mouth. And the LORD said unto me, Behold, I have put my words in thy mouth. See, I have this day set thee over the nations and over the kingdoms, to root out, and to pull down, and to destroy, and to throw down, to build, and to plant.”  (Jeremiah 1: 6-10). It seems many times to be hard for people who have a lot of physical strength and wisdom, because God has to break them, and humble them so he can use them. So look for those litttle Miracles every day, and pray for them, and pray for the Lord’s protection every time you drive or get out. “The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.” (Psalm 34:7).The loss of a nail caused the loss of a shoe, and the loss of a shoe caused the loss of a horse, and the loss of a horse, caused the loss of a King, and the loss of a King caused the loss of a Kingdom. All because of the loss of one nail, a whole Kingdom fell. So don’t forget to take care of little details, before they turn into huge problems. Also don’t say you can’t do something that God has called you to do and let someone else get your crown and reward, “I can do all things through Christ which strengthen me”.(Philippians 4:13)

Say this prayer to be saved: Jesus, I want to know you, and to live forever in Heaven, I know I have made mistakes and done bad things- and I am sorry. Please forgive me. I know I don’t deserve it, but I accept your love and I accept you as my Saviour. I believe you died on the cross for my sins ,and rose from the dead. Please come into my heart and life and fill me with your Holy Spirit and give me peace. Amen.
