DAILY READINGS: Exodus 8; Psalms 38-39; Acts 3
…thine handmaid hath not anything…save a pot of oil. 2 Kings:4:2And Elisha said unto her, What shall I do for thee? tell me, what hast thou in the house? And she said, Thine handmaid hath not any thing in the house, save a pot of oil.
See All... A shepherd’s rod (Gen:4:2And she again bare his brother Abel. And Abel was a keeper of sheep, but Cain was a tiller of the ground.
See All...).
A widow’s jar (1 Kgs. 17:14). A small cloud (1 Kgs. 18:44). A grain of seed (Mark:4:31It is like a grain of mustard seed, which, when it is sown in the earth, is less than all the seeds that be in the earth:
See All...). Five loaves and two fish (Luke:9:13But he said unto them, Give ye them to eat. And they said, We have no more but five loaves and two fishes; except we should go and buy meat for all this people.
See All...). God delights in using little things! Gideon defeated avast army with 300 men. David slew Goliath with five smooth stones. 120 people—filled with the Holy Spirit—turned their world upside down. It’s not what we have that counts, but Who we have! Discouraged by the "littleness" in your life today? Take it. Pour it. Plant it. Break it, before God! And wait for an abundance of rain! —Deborah Manera
Give of your best to the Master;
Give Him first place in your heart.
Give Him first place in your service;
Consecrate every part. —H. B. Grose
