Mixed with obedience

Who dares despise the day of small things. (Zechariah 4:10a)

 So many examples in the Bible highlight the importance of little things. One little stone brought down a giant; one little haircut almost lost the kingdom; one little lunch cost a prophet his life; one little manger changed the destiny of mankind; and one little deal brought death to the Savior, so that only a little mustard seed of faith could move mountains! I wonder how many mountains failed to get moved for lack of that tiny seed of faith!
  The Bible tells us to “despise not the day of small things”—even one talent; five loaves and two fishes; a handful of meal, and a few drops of oil —when mixed with obedience.
 There are so many examples of the importance of little things throughout history, either for good or for evil, that they are almost innumerable. Little drops of water, little grains of sand, make the mighty ocean, and the beautiful land! Even a little faith, no bigger than a grain of mustard seed, can remove a mountain. Don’t ever think that because there is so much darkness, it’s no use to have just a little light, because even one candle can be seen a mile away when it’s dark! —David Brandt Berg [1]

 A mustard seed kind of faith is faith that isn’t content to stay small, but one that buries itself in the soil of God’s Word, takes root, and grows and grows and grows…—Darla Noble
