The Little Things
“Then Pharaoh’s daughter went down to the Nile to bathe” (Exodus 2:5).
Who would have thought that from such a little thing as Pharaoh’s daughter going to bathe in the river of Egypt would spring the deliverance of Israel?
The mind of Christ in us is chiefly to be seen in little things. To walk before God in the everyday matters of life, and to have our words and actions savored daily with the name of Jesus, this is true holiness.
In the least matters what need there is of looking upwards! I ought not to write a note without looking up to God, seeking his help; for I can write folly enough in one sentence to cause myself and others disquietude for months.
Let us turn every circumstance of the day into an occasion of communication with God. Things of small amount will then bring us great blessings.
In small points of obedience are found the best test of the soul's state. What great grace it needs to find no excuses for our little faults! – still greater to confess them! (Robert C. Chapman).
