Psalms 8:1 NIV
[1] Lord, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory in the heavens.
There are no small miracles!
How often do we ask God for something that is really important to us, but after He answers we never tell people because we have gotten it into our heads that it was small. I think we have this feeling due to certain testimony expectations. Someone who survived a car wreck unharmed seems to have a testimony that is greater than the girl who was praying for her senior dog to be able to jump up on the couch by himself again. Yet both are equal! Yes. The fact that God answers us at all is the amazing thing, but the lost earring and the broken foot both hold the same weight with God. Nothing we ask for is hard for Him, it’s our mind which make things big. Inside my mind my exams are HUGE! But to God they are nothing, they are so simple to Him. In my mind protection from a terrible storm is MASSIVE! But it’s easy for God.
There are no small miracles. What we ask for is only big or little inside our own minds.
I would like to see us walk away from this and begin boasting on God for EVERYTHING He does, not just for the things that seem big to us.
In the Psalm above, David speaks on how majestic the name of the Lord is; then he goes on to ask God what are we that God Himself cares for us?
We are so small in the whole of things, yet we mean so much to God.
Take away:
We undermine God’s goodness when we speak of how only certain things He does are miracles and others are only little blessings. Yet every work of God’s hand is a miracle, everything He does for us. Because the true miracle is the fact that God loves us and cares about us.
Even if we simply stub our toe, Jesus cares.
So when the things we think are big happen, let’s remember that, to God, they aren’t big at all.
