I hear the Lord saying tonight, There is great power in the smallest acts of obedience and faith.
When Jesus was sitting on the hillside teaching, a young lad offered Him the sack lunch that his mother had packed. To the crowds nearby, it seemed such an insignificant offer. But in the generous hands of a boy lay the seeds of a miracle. With that small offering, Jesus fed 5000 hungry men as well as the women and children waiting.
When the Lord sat at a wineless wedding in Cana, it seemed foolish to bystanders to pull water from the well and pour it into jars. But every bucket of water that was raised was filled with drops of amazing possibility. Jesus transformed it into wine that day.
When the Savior made mud and smeared it on the eyes of the blind man, it didn’t make any sense for him to go wash in the pool of Siloam. But every footfall on the path, was a step closer to the wonder of sight restored. Jesus healed the blind.
When the Lord saw a man with a withered hand in the synagogue, it sounded ludicrous to the onlookers that He would say, Reach out your hand. But as he stretched out his handicap, the man was reaching for marvelous restoration. Jesus healed the withered hand.
How about you? What is in your hand that you can offer to the Lord? What small act of obedience or faith can you lift to Him? It may seem too insignificant and small to bother with, but the Lord doesn’t see things that way we do. He is the One Who uses the foolish things to confound the wise. He has miracles in His hands and His eyes are on you.
So go ahead and walk around and offer a kind smile to someone you don’t know. Reach out your hand and pray with the person facing a trial. Bless a child that may not have much at home. Feed a hungry man. Hug that single mother struggling to support her children. Go be the church. Your small acts, so seemingly insignificant, carry the seeds of miracles in them.
