9 Dec 13 devotional from, Experiencing God
The old adage, "Bigger is Better" is not always the case when it comes to following God's will. While big steps of faith are indeed important, the smalls steps and acts we commit are equally as valuable. You may not be the next pastor of a Multi-church, but you could invite someone to church. You might not know your bible cover to cover, but if you spend time in the word, the Lord delights in your acts. You may not be an award winning singer, but if you are singing your heart out for Jesus, He will rejoice. You get what I'm saying? You smelling what The Rock is cooking? Are you picking up what I'm putting down?
You don't HAVE to go for the stars, you don't have to jump over the moon, you don't have do any of those astrological cliches to earn God's love. That is the beauty of being a Christian… God loves you, no matter what. A better cliche/overused phrase to use in place of "Bigger is Better" is "It's not the size of the dog in the fight, it's the size of the fight in the dog" It doesn't matter how many "Jesus points" you try to earn…if you are praising God for your own glory, you are doing it in vain. Revel in the small steps you take and know that Jesus appreciates every one of them.
