(Borrowed from Richard J. Vincent, God In The Ordinary)
If we lived in light of God’s presence we would see God in everything. Every aspect of life would be transformed.
2. The small would become great in the presence of God. We would realize that there are no trivial things in the sight of God. We must constantly beware of the dangerous tendency we have to believe God only works in big events, big churches, and big programs with big leaders. All deeds – great and small, big or little – done for God are eternally significant. As many prominent saints have noted in the past, God is not looking for great deeds, but small deeds done with great love. If we awaken to God’s presence in all things we will discover countless opportunities to minister to others – a smiling face that ministers grace, a kind and encouraging word at the right time, slowing down to listen (really listen) to others. All these things and more can make the difference between joy and despair, healing or hurting, heaven or hell. Ultimately, everything in relationship to God’s greatness and glory is “small.” Since we really can only do small things, we should do them with great faith and great love in the presence of God, and in doing so, the small things become great!
