THE little THINGS MATTER!

In the 4 th chapter of 2 nd Kings (Old Testament) (2 Kings 4:1-7) - we find a story unfolding that contains something HUGE but small about the ways of God. It's a story of desperation - a woman holding on to the little that she has left. God steps in and takes that little and multiplies it. Stretches that little bit - to do a whole lot.

Many of us at times can get caught up in life feeling like "I don't have a lot to offer people." "I can't do anything big for God." "What can I do, that can really make a difference?"

Maybe more than you think!

THE little THINGS MATTER!

God's Kingdom gets carried out - 1 little step at a time! So, take a step this week!

little notes of encouragement

little conversations that express care

little steps of communication - everyone's in on the discussion and the 'know'

little words of empowerment

little acts of kindness

little expressions of appreciation

little points of challenge - calling out the best in someone

little moments of listening

little references of why 'they' matter to you & our community

little sacrifices of service that aid another

little times of praying with one another

little aims of comforting someone who's hurting

little whispers of instilling hope

little phrases of praise for another

little energy spent helping another

 Kingdom principle: our little + God's power = BIG IMPACT

(2 Kings 4)

Questions to consider:

  what little thing can you do to make a difference in a life around you this week?

  what little thing can you do to make an impact in our student ministry?

  what little thing do you need to do for your family?

Prayer of Blessing over YOU :

May the God who is BIG enough to take the little you and I bring to the table in life - May He grant you insight to notice what you can do and better yet - what He can do through you! May He guide you to bring what you have (your skills, talents, abilities, resources) to the aid of His Kingdom work in the lives of others. May you be overwhelmed often by how He desires to use you to make a difference in this world He's focused on reclaiming. May you hear his whispers of confidence deep in your soul. and may your heart be quick to respond to His leadings.
