Saints of God,Grace and peace from our Lord Jesus Christ. It is a new week. It is my prayers that God will be with you all every hour of the day, guiding and protecting you.
To begin this week, I want each of us to be thankful for the little things. I am thankful to God and you all for the love. I am thankful for a good seven hours or more of sleep and rest.
When my daughter was little, she scraped her knee. I put a little bandage on it. It surprised me how much comfort she got from such a tiny adhesive strip. Maybe the bandage represented much more than a wound covering, for it was put there by the familiar hands of love and tender kindness.
Throughout the Bible, we see how God uses little things in life to bring hope and healing to the world.God chose the small nation of Israel to be a blessing to the world. Through this little nation, cared for by God’s faithful hands, the Savior Jesus came into the world. The Savior came in a small package: A baby born to a teenage peasant girl. Who would have thought that such a child would heal the broken-hearted and bound up their wounds?
Let us give thanks for the little things. Let us give thanks that God works in small ways. God’s hands are loving and tender. May your week be a week filled with peace.
Memory verse: Psalms 100:1
“You will Never influence the world by trying to be like it.”
