A word from Pastor Sims
The Little Things
Everyone who has discovered the love of God wants to make a big impact for the Kingdom; and while all of us will not be missionaries in a foreign land nor evangelists who preach to millions, we do have our place and purpose in God's Great Plan.
The Bible tells us it's "The little foxes that destroy the vines" - Songs of Solomon 2:15. The little things left undone causes a major breakdown in the root system of society. So, if the "little things" left undone destroys relationships, families, and eventually communities, then the "little things" when done properly, should strengthen the same.
Let us consider the "little things." Opening the door for someone who has their hands full, saying good morning as we meet strangers, having a joyful smile as we enter the workplace, helping a friend or neighbor in need, praying for someone in distress, displaying good sportsmanship when we lose, respecting others' rights and opinions, complementing someone on a job well done. These are just a few of the "little things" that can make a BIG difference in someone's day and in our communities.
God did not call all of us to spark a worldwide revival or do the great works as Moses, Elijah, Joseph or Paul. We may not have the courage to lead an army like David and slay Goliath; the so-called BIG THINGS that will make our legacies known throughout the world. But EACH one of us who has been redeemed by the Blood of Jesus has the capacity to make a major impact for the Kingdom of God.
Concentrate daily on the "little things" wherever God has planted you. Don't let the "little things" destroy the vines in the vineyard.
