When small things matter

Reflection for the day

By Olubunmi Adebayo

*God does not see the way men see.*

*Isaiah 55: [8] For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD.*

*Several things that do not matter to us as human beings,are very significant before God.*

*You may want to ask, why should Jesus go after Peter and make him a fisher of men?*

*Matthew 4:[18]And Jesus, walking by the sea of Galilee, saw two brethren, Simon called Peter, and Andrew his brother, casting a net into the sea: for they were fishers.*
*[19]And he saith unto them, Follow me, and I will make you fishers of men.*

*It was because Peter was a patient, committed and diligent hardworking fisherman :*

*Luke 5:[5] And Simon answering said unto him, Master, we have toiled all the night, and have taken nothing…..*

*Small things are noticeable raw materials for God to show forth his glory in the life of a fellow. Please note this as part of your key drivers in your journey of life.*

*People wondered why David was absent at the selection exercise for a King, and he still ended up being the one chosen by God, and not his other brothers.*

*This was because while others were at home loitering and doing nothing, young David was in the wilderness shepherding, protecting and growing the business of the family – against all odds.*

*Take a look at Joseph. He was a great lover of dreams. He started out with having small dreams : he saw the representation of his brothers bowing down for him.*

*He graduated to bigger dreams by adding the representation of his father and mother (the sun and the moon) alongside the representation of his brothers (11 stars) bowing down to him.*

*From having dreams, Joseph moved up to accurately interpreting dreams for others, as we saw in his encounter with the Butler and the Baker in prison.*

*From the level of dream interpretation, Joseph went on to become Vision Executioner. He not only interpreted the dreams of King Pharaoh, he suggested solutions to the challenges in the dreams and went on to execute the vision that the dreams represented, and ended up saving the generation of the world from destruction through famine that ravaged that period of time in history.*

*Please note this : your little efforts are noticed by God, you may not know it.*

*Therefore, those little efforts of yours here and there are great instruments for extraordinary transformations that the world is waiting for.*

*To this end, refrain from despising those little ideas of yours. Even God encouraged and inspired us in the book of Job 8:7 by saying :*

*”Though thy beginning was small, yet thy latter end should greatly increase”.*

*Always cherish whatever little positive initiative that is coming from yourself, no matter how small it may be.*

*Remember always : little drops of water, make a mighty ocean.*
