Thought for the Day

A Tiny Seed, a Tiny Deed

Do not despise small beginnings, for the LORD rejoices to see the work begin.
Zechariah 4:10 (NLT)

Against a towering giant, a brook pebble seems futile. But God used it to topple Goliath. Compared to the tithes of the wealthy, a widow's coins seem puny. But Jesus used them to inspire us.

Moses had a staff.
David had a sling.
Samson had a jawbone.
Rahab had a string.
Mary had some ointment.
Dorcas had a needle.
All were used by God.
What do you have?

God inhabits the tiny seed, empowers the tiny deed. Don't discount the smallness of your deeds.

Wonderful! Just shows that we all have something: a smile, a hug, a tear. Sometimes I think it has to be something "grand", but God uses the simple so many times. Mom
