"Lord, help me to do great things as though they were little, since I do them with YOUR power, and little things as though they were great, since I do them in YOUR name." - B. Pascal
When Paul boldly stated" "I can do all things through Him who gives me strength," he recognized it had nothing to do with himself. WHOA!
Adam in the Garden. Noah and the Ark. Elisha as the prophet. From beginning to end as we read the Word of God it is very clear that each one of us was put here to work, to aid God in His great story of the redemption of mankind. Though we are saved 'by grace' the bible does tell us to 'work out' our salvation, meaning we don't work to be saved, we work because we are saved. It is God's great plan and how He perfects us before calling us home to be with Him eternally. The thing we need remember is no matter the size of the task God assigns us, great or small, it is Him working through us that gets it accomplished. So we need not think ourselves as someone great because we command thousands or lift large loads, nor as someone too important to do the dirty work or small deeds for God, for without His presence we could do neither. So, what are YOU doing today?
Until tomorrow......
