Take your little and plant it.

Ever felt small and inadequate?  Like there's just not enough to meet the demands before you?  How do you handle those times?

As I had one of those moments earlier today, I sensed the Holy Spirit say to me,
"You can reduce God to the size of your small faith, or you can allow Him to enlarge your heart to His greatness and abundance."



It's easy to measure ourselves against the situation and realize how short we're falling.  But how often do I take my focus to God and remember how great He is and abundant in His love, provision, guidance, power... and whatever I'm needing specifically?  

We really are small, inadequate and not enough at times. But that's okay, because it isn't about us, it's about Him and learning how the Kingdom works.    

I love the parable of the mustard seed, because it shows the power of planting the little we have. 

Then He said, “To what shall we liken the kingdom of God? Or with what parable shall we picture it? It is like a mustard seed which, when it is sown on the ground, is smaller than all the seeds on earth; but when it is sown, it grows up and becomes greater than all herbs, and shoots out large branches, so that the birds of the air may nest under its shade.” Mark 4:30-32

Let's take our "little", give thanks and plant it.  The greatness and abundance of the King will be released as we do.
