Small Things

I usually like big things. I like big buildings – big car – big paycheck – big bank account. You get the picture. There are many things that are big that are good. There are also lots of small things that can be really big. I remember getting a small package for a gift and having someone remind me “big things sometimes come in small packages”. The Proverb writer reminded me of this truth as well. Check this out….

I am not a fan of any of these creatures. For the most part, I see them as a nuisance. They were created by God for some purpose – I’m just not sure why. J I do appreciate the writer reminding me that I can learn from these little creatures. When I think of humans in the presence of God, we are also very small. One big difference that separates us from other creatures is that we were made in God’s Image.

I want to be a wise man.

I want to be a good steward of my time.

I want to be a wise manager of the resources I’m blessed with.

I want to a man who has the very Heart of God beating in my chest.

I’d rather have wisdom from the Lord than all the wealth in the world. I want to recognize the brevity and “smallness” of this life and keep my eyes on the “big” eternal life that He promises.
