The longer I work in Christ’s vineyard the more convinced I am that many people are kept out of the service of Christ − deprived of the luxury of working for God − because they are trying to do some great thing. Be willing to do little things. Remember that nothing is small when God is in it. Elijah’s servant came to him and told him he saw a cloud not larger than a man’s hand. That was enough for Elijah. Then Elijah said to Ahab, Go up, eat and drink; for there is a sound of abundance of rain (1 Kings 18:41). Elijah knew that the small cloud would bring rain. Nothing we do for God is small.
