Being Faithful with the Little

We often think we can’t do much to change the situations we are in but by being faithful with the little we have we can move mountains. It’s the little things that give you away. 

It seemed such a small thing.

I remember my parents’ daily little habit of reading the Bible. I think they had a daily devotional sitting alongside as they read.

Why I remember this because as a young child I would cuddle in between them as my father would read holy words into the new day.

Little faithful habits build thinking structures that shape the world.

I have written about my mother’s bible faithfully read and little quotes added here and there.

I remember on Sundays going to our place of worship and seeing my father sit in the pew and quietly bow his head in prayer before the service. I’m not sure what he prayed, but maybe it was something like ‘God, I’m here, speak to me.’

My observation of them being faithful with the little taught me a great deal.

Your parents did too. Good and bad. They provided micro-influencers to shape how you see your world and how you understand God.

I believe that how you see God is how you see everything. Never despise the little.
