Small Things Are Not Despised

For who has despised the day of small things?
Zechariah 4:10

The world Loves the spectacular God has proven that He is was certainly capable of the extraordinary, but He often choose to work through the ordinary and seemingly insignificant. In this way He demonstrates He love and His power.
  Throughout history, God's answer to a critical time was to send a baby, Isaac, Moses, Samuel, John the Baptist, and Jesus were all born as answer to a time of need. When God Delivered the Israelites from the Midianites' oppression, He intentionally used an army of merely three hundred men to defeat a vastly larger army. He had more soldier s available, but He preferred to demonstrates His power in the way He accomplished His purposed. When Jesus selected His first disciples He could have enlisted a multitudes to follow Him, but He chose twelve. It was not the number of disciples but the quality of their walk with him that would determine how they affected their world. When Jesus fed a multitudes, five loaves of bread and two fish from a boy's lunch were sufficient in the hands of the Lord
     Jesus compared the kingdom of God to a mustard seed (Matt.13:31-32). The mustard seed was the smallest seed known to the Jews, yet it grew into enormous tree.the also likened God's kingdom to leaven that is hardly noticrables but raises the entirely batch of dough (Matt. 13:33). When children came to Jesus, His disciples assumed they were an annoyance and chased them away (Matt. 19:13-15). But  Jesus said that in order to enter His Kingdom, peoples must approach God as a child.
    Christian often accept the adage  "the bigger the better." We measure success by the number of peoples involved in the ministry.
We seek spectacular display of God' power. We must learn to view success as God is interested in the heart is pleased with obedience.
