The Little Things

Happy Resurrection Sunday!  

Praying that you are doing well today!  Worked two services in Children's Church today due to the multiplication that generally occurs on Holiday Sundays.  You know the CME's, the people who come to church on Christmas, Mother's Day, and Easter!  LOL!  Anyway, thankful that they are here and able to get the Word!  Hope you are encouraged by this except from Barry Bennett.  Have a wonderful week!


The Little Things by Barry Bennett

Our lives are the sum total of many little things that we have said, things we have done, little decisions we have made and our seemingly inconsequential actions. While we may look at the big events as the moments that changed our lives, it is often the little things that determine our futures.

He that is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much: and he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. (Luke 16:10)

What we do with the ‘LEAST’ determines how we will approach the bigger things in life. Are we honest in the smallest things or do we only lie now and then? Do we arrive late for work and steal time from our employer? Do we cheat on tests? All of these seemingly little things are actually the building blocks of our futures.

Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make you ruler over many things. (Mt. 25:23)

When we are faithful in the little things, God gives us more. We have chosen faithfulness and integrity over slothfulness. But when we establish a pattern of indifference and laziness in the little things, we are setting a course toward failure and loss. A little leaven leavens the whole lump. (Gal. 5:9)

Don’t let even a little leaven of flesh and carnal thinking into your life. Allow His grace to provide your strength for every need.

Wherefore, holy brethren, partakers of the heavenly calling, consider the Apostle and High Priest of our profession, Christ Jesus; Who was faithful to him that appointed him. (Heb. 3:1-2)

Love and prayers, Cynthia
