God Uses Small Things

  One of the fascinating things to see as you read through God’s Word, is how God often uses small, insignificant things to do great things.  In the Book of Judges, He uses a dagger in a left hand; an oxgoad; a nail; trumpets, pitchers and lamps; a millstone dropped at the right time and place; and even a jawbone of a donkey.  In I Samuel, God uses a boy with a sling and stone.  In the feeding of the 5000 + He uses a lad’s lunch.

 

  It ought to make us praise God that He uses little things to accomplish His purpose.  It is when we begin to feel big and self-sufficient that God can’t use us.  He wants us to remember that:

Ps. 103:14

“…he knoweth our frame; he remembereth that we are dust.”

For us to:

James 4:10

“Humble ourselves in the sight of the Lord, and he shall lift you up.”

  Let’s never forget that empty vessels can be filled with more of His Spirit and power to be used.  Those filled with themselves don’t leave much “room for Jesus King of glory” to work in and through them.

  Remember our Lord’s teaching on the Vine and branches:

John 15:5

“without me ye can do nothing.”

  So, as we see our weakness and insignificance, then we can say with Paul the Apostle:

 

Phil. 4:13

“I can do all things through Christ which strengtheneth me.”

Perhaps today! 

 Love to you all,
