Working through the gospels, Jesus uses small things over and over to mr each big lessons......the lamb, the children, a coin, a pearl , little faith, a touch , a seed,....many, many more .
In our hurried lives, we forget the small things, touch, courtesies, the scent of a flower, the sunrises/sunsets..a babies soft skin....
we are looking for the big things, the crowds, the games, the large churches....the large /supersized....
Jesus chose A small boys lunch to reach a large crowd, when He could have produced a banquet...He used a few words of thanks....to produce a miracle....with leftovers....
Matthew 14:17 “We have here only five loaves of bread and two fish,” they answered.
18 “Bring them here to me,” he said. 19 And he directed the people to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the two fish and looking up to heaven, he gave thanks and broke the loaves. Then he gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the people. 20 They all ate and were satisfied, and the disciples picked up twelve basketfuls of broken pieces that were left over. 21 The number of those who ate was about five thousand men, besides women and children..
What is something small in my life produces has the potential of producing something big.....
Belief in Christ-life everlasting
Mentoring-life changes
A smile-a smile back
Encouragement-building someone up
Giving-multiplies
Or the negative also....
Grumbling-tearing down
Frowns-negativity
Nonbelief-the lake of fire
Hoarding-closed hands, heart
What do I want to produce.....what do I want to make big.....from the little....
Each have lasting influence....do I want the negative or the positive.....?
