Little Can Be Much With God

“In every thing give thanks: for this is the will of God in Christ Jesus concerning you.” I Thessalonians 5:18

Little is much when God is in it. Have you heard this hymn?

Little is much when God is in it!
Labor not for wealth or fame.
There’s a crown—and you can win it,
If you go in Je­sus’ name.

One of the verses speaks volumes to me as a chronic pain sufferer.

Are you laid aside from serv­ice,
Body worn from toil and care?
You can still be in the bat­tle,
In the sac­red place of pray­er.

We may have bodies broken or worn out. However, we still have things we can do to help others know of the love of God, His forgiveness and eternal life. Galatians 6:9 reminds us, “And let us not be weary in well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not.” Whether we are healthy or whether we have broken bodies we can pray for said laborers.  Little is much when God is in it!

Do what you can, when you can, as much as you can in the Lord and then you’ll see rich rewards. Working here on earth even with a worn out body, remaining faithful to Him means you’ll hear the words, “well done.” Well done is not just for the person who ministered as a pastor.  It isn’t only for the one who sacrificed his life for God.  Ministering for God is giving your all every day in His will no matter what situation of life you are in.

When the con­flict here is end­ed
And our race on earth is run,
He will say, if we are faith­ful,
Welcome home, My child—well done!

“Wherefore seeing we also are compassed about with so great a cloud of witnesses, let us lay aside every weight, and the sin which doth so easily beset us, and let us run with patience the race that is set before us,” Hebrews 12:1
