The Little Things

The little things count. They are the proving ground of your faithfulness and dependability. Little things have far-reaching affects more profound than one could ever imagine. God does the big things just fine without our help; it's through our littleness and weakness that He proves Himself strong. 1Cor 1:27, 2Cor 12:10

• Being faithful with a little demonstrates the capability of being faithful with much Luk 16:10
• Proving faithful with a small task can bring greater responsibilities and rewards Luk 19:17
• Conscientiously keeping even the smallest, most insignificant of God's commandments earns greatness in the kingdom of heaven Mat 5:19
  
• Jesus considers kind generosity toward the unfortunate dregs of mankind the same as being that way to Himself Mat 25:34-40
• Paul appropriately thought of himself as the least apostle 1Cor 15:9 and Christian Eph 3:8, in humility fully recognizing the grace of God that changed him from a proud antichrist.
• The tongue is such a small thing, with such huge powers, just like a small rudder controls the course of an immense ship Jam 3:4
