small tO BIG

God loves to do BIG things through small circumstances!  This is probably why Jesus used the image of a mustard seed to describe the Kingdom of God (Mark 4:30-31).  A mustard seed is very tiny, yet becomes a significant bush.  Similarly, while the Kingdom of God started small (a few Jews in Israel), it is growing into a universal Kingdom!  Such growth, like the spreading of the Good News throughout the world, glorifies God.

In what ways have you and I seen God bring BIG blessings out of small circumstances?  Here are a few examples that come to my mind--the small boy whose faith got his parents to start going to church again, the handicapped woman whose courage inspired thousands to hope for greater things, and the small church that dared to dream of bringing Christian and encouraging movies to Hollywood.  These are all examples of the Kingdom of God growing in our midst!
