You have big dreams you want to accomplish. Your motivation and goals to succeed in this life are huge. You were told to reach for the stars, and you now are pursuing that challenge. Every decision you make daily is done with your ultimate goal in life in view. In fact, you feel compelled to accomplish that huge task before you.
D. L. Moody was an evangelist of yesteryear that God used greatly during his ministry on earth. In discussing the importance of doing great things for God, Moody stressed this point: “Our great matters are little to His power; our little matters are great to His love.” Let that sink into your mind. Great things done in your power are insignificant in comparison to what God can accomplish in His power. Also, the small things that you accomplish in His power result in the greater blessings God accomplishes through His love for you.
When you do small things for God, then He turns around and turns them into something big for His kingdom. God looks at your faithfulness. The parable of the talents in Matthew 25 emphasizes the fact that God rewards you for faithfully doing small things by giving you huge rewards. In that parable, two slaves are mentioned who took what their master gave them and faithfully used them. The result was their master abundantly rewarded their faithfulness in small matters. In both instances, Jesus states what the master said to the slaves, and indirectly to you, in being faithful in small matters: “His master said to him, ‘Well done, good and faithful slave. You were faithful with a few things, I will put you in charge of many things; enter into the joy of your master” (vv. 21, 23).
Through prayer, allow God to accomplish those small matters in your life. The result will be that He will reward you with bigger opportunities. There, actually is, bigness in smallness.
