**The little things...**
By Pastor Bobby Schuller
_"Take the staff, and you and your brother Aaron gather the assembly together.
Speak to that rock before their eyes and it will pour out its water. You will
bring water out of the rock for the community so they and their livestock can
drink."_
_-Numbers 20:8_
If you want God to trust you with the big things in life, he has to see you
first be true in the little things of life, in the hidden things of your
heart.
Look at the Bible. Look at the way God treats the big things and the little
things. I see it in story after story. For example, Moses did amazing things
in his life. He led the people out of Egypt and led them to the Promised Land,
and he didn't even get to enter the Promised Land. And you know why? It's not
because he killed a person, and he did, it's not because of his many mistakes.
It is one mistake. God told him to speak to a rock so that water would come
out, but instead Moses hit the rock with his staff so that water would come
out. Nobody knew. Right? This one little thing that God put in Moses' heart,
he decided not to do. He hit the rock instead of speaking to the rock, and so
because of that and only that, he doesn't get to enter the Promised Land.
God cares about little things.
**Prayer: **Dear Lord, show me the little things that are important to you. I know you love me and will care for me no matter what, but I want to be your emissary on earth, doing your will in your way. Amen.
