Today, I found out that something I did at work didn’t quite work the way I planned because I left one tiny little box unchecked. Just one tiny little box that kept what I was doing from working right.

Fortunately, it was easily fixed, but it got my strange little mind going.

I wonder if that same principle works in reverse.

How many great big things happen as a result of a lot of little things done by a lot of people over a long period of time?

Maybe that little act of service or kindness that you do on a daily basis doesn’t seem like a lot to you.

Maybe that menial task you do every day doesn’t seem to be worth it.

Maybe God has something grand in store for you and He’s waiting to see if you can be responsible with the little stuff.

“If you’re faithful in small-scale matters, you’ll be faithful with far bigger responsibilities. If you’re crooked in small responsibilities, you’ll be no different in bigger things” (Luke 16:10, The Voice).

Maybe if you serve in the little and menial tasks with the same zeal as if you’re doing great and mighty things, perhaps one day you’ll be entrusted by God with great and mighty things. Or maybe those seemingly insignificant little things will have great and mighty results.
