Seriously, David’s own family overlooked him when Samuel came to anoint the next king. God not only used some small rocks to take out a giant, but He also used David, who was the youngest and smallest of his brothers.
David and five stones: You may have heard the story of David and Goliath.Once Jesus blessed the food, the disciples handed out food to everyone there and had 12 bags left over. When the disciples told Jesus that they should send the crowds away for food, Jesus told the disciples to feed 5,000 men and their families with just five pieces of bread and two fish. Jesus, five loaves, and two fish : God used some pretty small portions to feed a lot of people.With faith so minuscule you would probably have to squint to see it! Yet Jesus said that if your faith is as big as a mustard seed, you can move mountains. Mustard seeds and faith: Do you know how small a mustard seed is? It’s only 1-2 millimeters long.Here are some ways God used small things long ago to make a big impact: We can see how in Bible times God very often worked using small things to accomplish big things. And since He’s always the same, He’s going to keep on bringing big results out of small things tomorrow. I also see how He continues to do so today.
He’s been using little things-moments, actions, objects, people-to do amazing things in the lives of His people for a long time. Hebrews 13:8 TPT says: Jesus, the Anointed One, is always the same-yesterday, today, and forever.
But do we recognize it when God is working in the little things? He has a history of using small things to accomplish big things and to change lives. God is working in all things, not just the big, momentous things. But he’s also God of peaceful afternoons, of subtle beauty, of small details, of quiet moments, and of little things. God may be a miracle worker, r evealer of mysteries, deliverer, g reat high priest, and mighty God. What happens when we stop looking for God in those little moments and acts? What happens when we forget to thank God for the miraculous and the seemingly mundane? What about the fabulous weather and beautiful day or the great time you were having? Did you thank God for those moments? God is working in those too. It’s about that big thing you’ve been praying for. Then, all of a sudden, you get a call or a text with some big news. You’ve got your favorite snack with you, and you’re doing something you love, whether that’s just sitting or reading or having fun with someone you adore. Imagine this: It’s a beautiful fall day, the weather is perfect, the leaves are changing, and you’re just relaxing.
