Good morning, Papa God!
It has pierced my soul and my thinking this morning. You, because You are God, are Almighty. All power reigns within You, and You do great and mighty things! I know this! But, here is the thought that pierced my being (and of course You already know this thought). You are also the god who works mightily in the small and insignificant things. How do I know this so well, Papa God? Because You have worked and are working in the faith of my small and insignificant life. Then, through Your Word, my mind transported me to those times when You used the faith of the small and insignificant lives of Your children to do great and mighty things. You used people like Gideon, Barak, Shadrach, Meshach, Abednego, Zarephath widow, a boy with a small lunch, and so many more. It is as if I hear You saying to me, “You have a little strength; you have kept My word; you have not denied My name. Who has despised the day of small things? Am I not God Almighty, able to take the small and insignificant things and do great and marvelous things with it, even you and your life?” I hear this question, and I am moved to acquiescence, to surrender. It is not about me, but it is about You and what You choose to do through me. Though my faith may be as small as a mustard seed at times, You take my “small” and use it to do what You desire in and through my life. I no longer despise the small things, Papa God, because I am one of them that You use.
Good morning, My child!
You now understand and see your life through My eyes. The small and insignificant, from your perspective, is great and mighty from My perspective and My design for your life. What is the one thing that I have asked of you when using your gift of teaching? It has always been and will always be to “feed My sheep and tend My lambs.” Do not focus on the ninety-nine, but on the one! When the seed of My word “falls into the ground and dies – it will spring up and change the entire landscape.” When you acquiesce as you have done and die to yourself, you [My small and insignificant seed (your words, not Mine)] will change the landscape around you through My Spirit’s power within you. I still do great and marvelous things from small seeds of faith that have been planted. Continue to do just what I have called you to do – teach My word whether it is to the few or the many. Right now, it is the few, and you are finally okay with that! I am proud of you, My child, for surrendering your designs and plans.
