I took some time a few weeks ago to look at pictures of baskets I had made. Someone said to me, "Those baskets are cute, but they're not big enough for me." That comment weighed on me a little more than I originally thought it would.
More often than not, we feel like something grand or bigger always means a better outcome or a more favorable situation for us. That's not necessarily the case, my friend! Look at the story of David in the Bible. David was the youngest, smallest, ruddiest, of all of Jesse's sons. But he was chosen by God to reign after God withdrew His favor from Saul (1 Samuel 16). It was also David...the small guy...who defeated the giant Goliath!!! (1 Samuel 17:32-50).
Then we look at God Himself. A lot of times we petition God in prayer and ask for Him to show us a sign. When He answers in what appears to be something small, we don't pay attention so quickly. We miss the move of God because we're so focused on what we want to happen and how we want it to happen. But when it's BIG, we shout and leap for joy and can't wait to tell about the wonderful things He has done.
The purpose of this post today is to let you know that God shows up right on time, whether we realize it or not. It may not be an earthquake or a fire or a new car or a new job or an overflow of money; it may be in a still small voice or just an insurmountable peace that comes over you.
Don't get so engulfed with thinking that bigger means better. That bigger sometimes will get you in big trouble!
Be blessed!
