Mighty Things

Scrapbooking is a favorite pastime for many people, and I agree it can be quite enjoyable.  The Sustas got together for several scrapbooking days as few years ago to make a scrapbook for our grandmother.  The finished product was amazing, and I sure am glad the walls in that scrapbooking room can’t talk!

Life is a collage of little things.  Scrapbook pages are usually filled with big things like vacations, events, celebrations, etc., and it’s great to commemorate those memories.  Sadly, however, we often pass over the little things that come daily even hourly – those moments that help define us and subtly honor Christ.  What about the little things – do we seek to please God in the small moments?   For example, does kindness motivate how I treat others at work, as I drive, speak to and about people?  Is there evidence in my life God is my King?  God said to King Solomon, “And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father and serve Him with a whole heart and with a willing mind, for the LORD searches all hearts and understands every plan and thought. If you seek Him, He will be found by you, but if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever.” (1 Chronicles 28:9)  Truth is, the world around us (our circle of influence) will see God in us when we walk His Way in both the monumental and the small things of life.  We are called to DAILY bow our will to the LORD and please Him perfectly in ALL things.  What fun it was to watch Nanny open that [oversized] scrapbook at Christmas, but it was the moments we [Sustas] shared putting it together that weren’t captured although we share them in our hearts.  I challenge you today: consider the small [seemingly] insignificant moments of this day and commit to walk in the LORD in each of them.  Little things become Mighty Things in the Hand of God!
