Little Is Much!

Dearly beloved, I greet you well. Today’s watchword is from Proverbs 15:16 and it tells us that, “Better is a little with the fear of the Lord than great treasure and trouble with it.” Imagine that…

As a people on a whole we spend so much time trying to get ahead and to become better versions of ourselves. We have this ideal in mind and so we seek to attain and to acheive and sometimes it is in so doing that we lose sight or focus on the things that are really important.

Our relationship with Christ suffers and then automatically we end up not being able to make time for our children, perhaps tend a garden, visit a sick brother or sister or even minister to anyone. Nothing is wrong with setting goals and trying to acheive them however, one must never become so engrossed in his pursuit of happiness that he can no longer commune with God.

Perhaps you feel as if you have been given too little; it appears that whilst you constantly struggle others have it more easier. Friend, commit all your ways to the Lord, keep your heart focused on Him and He will open your eyes to all you have been gifted with.

Mark 8:36 asks, “what good is it for someone to gain the whole world, yet forfeit their soul? These are scriptures that we may know by heart but have we assessed our circumstances lately? What is your current standing? Are you seeking to gain so much that you have lost sight of all that you already possess? Think on these things.

Until next week, I join with B Farrell in praying,
Longing for shelter, many are homeless,
Longing for warmth, many are cold.
Make us your building, sheltering others, walls made of living stone.

Amen.
