Day 77 – Such a HUGE thing to us can be so small in the eyes of our Beholder.
Today’s Reading: 2 Samuel 5 – 7
2 Samuel 7:18-20 “Then King David went in and sat before the Lord and said, “Who am I, O Lord God, and what is my house, that you have brought me thus far? And yet this was a small thing in your eyes, O Lord God. You have spoken also of your servant’s house for a great while to come, and this is instruction for mankind, O Lord God! And what more can David say to you? For you know your servant, O Lord God!”
Have you ever climbed a massive Grandfather Oak or swung from its branches? Have you ever made a fort in the highest parts or imagined you were Fritz from the Swiss Family Robinson making a tree your home? For years and years and hours upon hours these massive oaks have entertained me, amazed me, grew me, and grew with me. But have you ever seen what the oak tree started as? A little acorn. Bursting forth from this acorn is a sprout of a future massive tree.
David was just like an acorn in the eyes of our Father in Heaven, a small vessel to be used in a mighty way for the Glory of the Lord.
Things that seem so HUGE to us like the Oak, are like the little acorn in the eyes of our God. The might of the oak comes from the Power He provides. The cancer we have, the divorce that is on the verge, the bankruptcy that awaits, the death that knocks at our door, the Acceptance into the perfect college, the long awaited Job, the clear scan…all of these are HUGE to us, but just so small to God.
It is by His power and under His control. As we watch the acorn grow into the mighty tree, shouldn’t we too trust Him with every Small and BIG thing in our path because to Him, nothing is impossible…Give Him the thanks He deserves for looking at our Big thing and making it no big deal.
