FAITH IS MANIFESTED IN THE SMALL THINGS IN OUR DAILY LIVES
Matthew 10:29-31, Luke 16:10, Proverbs 3:6
The Importance of Little Things in Relationships
In relationships—whether with God or others—the little things are the big things. Small acts of kindness, words of appreciation, and thoughtful gestures often carry the most meaning. Unfortunately, many people overlook these small but crucial aspects, focusing only on the “big moments” while ignoring the foundation of any strong relationship.
God Himself, the Master of relationships, is deeply invested in the little things. He reminds us through His Word and the teachings of His servants that we must pay attention to the small details of life and do them in His name.
T.B. Joshua’s Perspective on Little Things
Prophet T.B. Joshua often emphasized the significance of the small things:
“Today, we don’t know how much we need God. You don’t know because you believe you can sit on your own, walk on your own, sleep on your own. There are many things you believe you can do on your own.”
The Danger of Neglecting the Small Things
We often take small, everyday actions for granted:
Sitting down without saying, “Thank You, Jesus.”
Walking without asking for God’s protection.
Sleeping without committing our rest to Him.
Combing our hair or making plans without seeking His guidance.
Faith is manifested in the small things we do. Every time Satan wants to attack you, he begins by exploiting the areas of your life where you think you don’t need God.
Biblical Insights on Little Things
God Cares About the Small Details
Matthew 10:29-31:
“Are not two sparrows sold for a penny? Yet not one of them will fall to the ground outside your Father’s care. And even the very hairs of your head are all numbered. So don’t be afraid; you are worth more than many sparrows.”If God cares so much about sparrows and the number of hairs on your head, how much more does He care about the small aspects of your daily life?
Faithfulness in Little Things Leads to Greater Blessings
Luke 16:10:
“Whoever can be trusted with very little can also be trusted with much.”When you are faithful in the small things, God entrusts you with bigger responsibilities and blessings.
Acknowledge God in All Things—Even the Smallest
Proverbs 3:6:
“In all your ways acknowledge Him, and He will make your paths straight.”Don’t wait for “big moments” to involve God. Acknowledge Him in the smallest details, and He will guide you.
Practical Steps to Focus on the Little Things
In Your Relationship With God
Start Your Day With Gratitude
- Thank God for waking you up, for your breath, for your ability to move and think.
Pray About Everything
- Don’t limit your prayers to big requests. Pray about small decisions, daily tasks, and seemingly insignificant moments.
Do Small Acts in Jesus’ Name
- Say, “In Jesus’ name,” as you sit, stand, eat, work, or rest. This simple acknowledgment invites God into the little things.
Reflect on God’s Presence
- Pause throughout the day to remember that God is with you, even in the mundane moments.
In Your Relationship With Others
Pay Attention to Small Gestures
- A kind word, a smile, or an act of service can strengthen any relationship.
Be Quick to Express Gratitude
- Don’t take others for granted. Say thank you for the little things they do for you.
Celebrate Small Wins
- Don’t wait for major milestones to celebrate. Appreciate and acknowledge the small victories in your relationships.
Communicate Often
- Regular check-ins, thoughtful messages, and little notes of encouragement go a long way in building trust and connection.
How the Little Things Affect the Big Things
When you give attention to the small things, the big things you worry about will naturally fall into place.
Small, consistent prayers build a strong faith life.
Little acts of kindness strengthen relationships over time.
Acknowledging God in daily moments invites His favor into every area of your life.
A Prayer to Honor the Little Things
“Lord Jesus, thank You for caring about every detail of my life, both big and small. Forgive me for the times I’ve taken the little things for granted and relied on my own strength. Teach me to acknowledge You in everything I do, from the smallest actions to the biggest decisions. Help me to honor You in my daily life and to value the small moments in my relationships with others. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
Final Encouragement
Don’t overlook the little things in your relationship with God and others. Remember, faith is manifested in the small things we do. When you commit the little things to Jesus, the big things you’re concerned about will become small in comparison.
Declaration
“I will give attention to the little things, honor God in all I do, and build strong relationships by focusing on the details. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
