In the hands of God small, insignificant things can become great and far-reaching. The Bible is full of many examples of this. Abraham had been an ordinary nomadic herdsman. In the hands of God he became the father of a great nation. ‘ Matthew 22:32 tells us The God of Abraham, of Isaac and of Jacob will be with you Gideon is another character who was made great by God. When told by God that he was going to be the leader of Israel, he protested ‘I am of the smallest in the nation of Israel and no mighty warrior.’ In his own strength he was nothing, in the hand of God, he was indeed a a mighty warrior.
In the New Testament we find that through the power of Jesus five small loaves and two fishes were enough to feed a multitude. Luke 9:16-18 They had been prepared to feed one lad, not 5,000. In all these cases we see what God can do with very little. Our little becomes His much.
I’ve just read the annual review of a children’s where I had some small involvement. Within the booklet was the obituary of a number of folk who I had known. They all had a difficult start in life. This Christian orphanhad given them a good start in life. I was amazed what they had achieved through God. God is the ingredient who make tiny and insignificant things, great and mighty. We are fairly small and unimportant but God can achieve great things when we surrender our lives to Him.
