No “small” blessings

I caught myself the other day, thinking on things that God has done for me and one of them was something I honestly acknowledged but was so easy to say that it was something small for God to do. All things are small for God to do.

I felt like the Holy Spirit convicted and reminded me that nothing from God is small. That the God of all creation who deigned to dwell among us, to offer up His blood for our salvation. That God even thought about me at all is a huge miracle.

I was thanking God for the life he blessed me with, and I think the exact thing was that I was able to have what I wanted for lunch or something seemingly innocuous. My exact thought was that it was a small blessing.

Boom, wait, no such thing. Literally that all things happen in Our Father’s will; direct, permissive, or otherwise. God loves us and literally only wants the best for us; not the easiest but always the best.

God didn’t stop loving and trying to help us – not after the giving the law to Moses and not after Jesus. Still, when we earnestly and with a fervent and repentant heart seek God, He always comes to our help.

Nothing from God is small, it us only our limited understanding and temporal appreciation that may make some things appear small. Praise and thank the Lord Our God for all things!
