Do the Small Things

November 3, 2024

Ponder This

You need to be faithful in the small things. All big things are made of little things. For example, your body has various members; these members have various parts; and these parts have cells, which are made up of molecules. Vast as the ocean is, it is made up of drops; the drops are made up of molecules; and the molecules are made up of atoms. All the millions and billions of years that may have been or ever will be are made up of ages; the ages are made up of years; years are made up of days; days are made up of hours; and hours are made up of minutes and seconds. Everything big is made of something small. So, if you’ll be faithful in the small things, the big things will take care of themselves.

Do you know what the big things in life are made of? Little acts, little words, little thoughts. You can’t have the much without having the little. We need to ask God to grow our faithfulness. We must be faithful in the small things and the secret things because who we are in secret is who we are—nothing more; nothing less.

• What are the small things in life you often overlook? How will you view the small things differently moving forward?
