Why did God choose one of the smallest towns in the nation of Judah for the birth of a Savior? Could it be to make the small significant?
How small does your life feel? Do you know why God has chosen you? Your place in God’s grand scheme has meaning. We become powerful when we accept our place in this world as small but significant. We begin to diminish our fears, insecurities and disappointments when we feel the difference we make in this world. Yesterday, we saw so many small things happening… copies being made, office supplies being ordered, coordinating of room usage… all kinds of small, seemingly meaningless and insignificant things. Then it all happened…in a matter of a few hours: someone called the church and Julie Sunderman, working reception, was shedding tears on the phone, leading someone to faith in Christ; Brian Robbins was playing basketball with a group of young people; we heard the sound of kids in Awana being taught by a band of faithful, God-filled teachers; joyful kids thrilled about being in church, totally pumped about their Bible memory verse; we saw Scott Whitesell and Stacey Livingston videotaping people who were willing to tell their story of how God has used Crossroads’ Midweek classes to change their lives. It was like Hebrews 11, where time would get away from us if we named every teacher of both children and adults… not to mention the amazing adults who are themselves students of God’s Word and God’s ways, hungry to learn about their Savior and their place in His plan. Yesterday seemed small. It was… but it was significant. It was full of small things that mattered to God. The small things, the small places, the small people matter…. our lives matter. Bethlehem became a place from which The Ruler came… can God get into your small stuff and change the world? “We can do no great things, only small things with great love.”–Mother Teresa Living Small, |
