We are doing little things around our house to spruce it up
a bit. A little thing here, a little
thing there. Changing door knobs, light
fixtures, drawer pulls etc… It is fun
to see how much a little thing can change the appearance and the feel of
something so rapidly. Today, I finished
my desk. I took cereal boxes and cut
and covered them into pretty organizer trays.
Sitting here, I feel less stressed out, I feel more organized and all
around happier. I feel like things aren’t
quite as cluttered. It is a nice
feeling that I don’t usually get in my house.
Now when I turn around, I feel the exact opposite since my kitchen is in
a state of disaster right now, but that is a different story. The transition in my house is happening in
baby steps.
God has really been speaking to me the past few days. Focus on the Family talked about how it is
the little things that add up to a big thing.
Our Pastor’s beautiful Wife told me that sometimes God takes us in baby steps. Now He is revealing Himself to me through
the little things being changed in my house.
Little things add up to become a big thing. Little changes add up to become a big
change. Sometimes, being a Christian is
intimidating. It is difficult to say
that you have to live a certain way or spend time with God daily. It is had to change over night. Habits take a long time to form. The big things are intimidating. God is asking us to take little steps.
Some in the Bible changed and had a transformation over
night. Some people I know have had an
immediate transformation, but those immediate transformations don’t come
without struggle and having to keep up the little steps.
The Love Dare which was featured in Fireproof shows
how little things can add up to save a marriage. Doing something nice for your spouse once a day can really change
an attitude. Although God can work in
supernatural ways and immediately change our lives, it is also important to see
Him in the little steps that we take.
The little things that we do.
The little areas that we need to work on.
To get these little changes that can make a huge difference,
we just have to allow God to work in us.
Asking Him to do what He wants in our lives. Having a prayer time, a Bible time and seeking God’s will. Developing a friendship with God allows
these little changes to start to take place and if we foster them, they will
make a huge difference.
Ester was like this – in her story, she had to gain nerve,
she had to build up her relationship with the King in order to save her
people. Ester is not a very long book,
but a great one. It is all about how
God put her in the right positions to make a difference. She didn’t see the differences right away,
she didn’t know why she was being put into the situations that she was in, but
God used her.
Joseph was the same way- little changes to his life made it
so that he could ultimate save his family.
