A Tiny Seed

Against a towering giant, a brook pebble seems futile. But God used it to topple Goliath. Compared to the tithes of the wealthy, a widow’s coins seem puny. But Jesus used them to inspire us…

Moses had a staff.
David had a sling.
Samson had a jawbone.
Rahab had a string.

Mary had some ointment.
Aaron had a rod.
Dorcas had a needle.
All were used by God.

What do you have? Much more than you might think. God inhabits the tiny seed. He empowers the tiny deed. Never discount the smallness of your deeds.

[Max Lucado]





Zechariah 4:10 … For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.




Luke 17:6 … And the Lord said, If ye had faith as a grain of mustard seed, ye might say unto this sycamine tree, Be thou plucked up by the root, and be thou planted in the sea; and it should obey you.


Matthew 19:26 … But Jesus beheld them, and said unto them, With men this is impossible; but with God all things are possible. ❤
