Do not think for a moment that your contribution is too small or
insignificant to matter. If you only
have a small amount of money to give toward a large goal or if you only have a
limited amount of time to spare to assist on a project; it does help. God looks at the heart of your contribution
and not the quantity. It is the quality
of your service and desire to give and participate that endears God’s heart. When we give our best, even in small
increments, God will take what we have and multiply its effect so that our
little becomes much. In today's
scripture we read of the influence that a small helm or rudder has in steering
a large and formidable ship. The ship is
gigantic in comparison to the small pliable piece that is used to maneuver it
through the water under the control of high and often violent winds. The stronger the push of the gale, the more
obvious it is that the rudder is needed and important.
The ship might represent some grand or great aspect of your life that
requires the dynamics of strong influence in order to move from where it is now
to the place of its best use; but the very forces that provide this push, could
also be the same forces which could tear it apart or send it off course. Here
is where your small rudder of ‘faith’ comes into play. God’s promises concerning your mission are
secure and he has provided the means (the ship) and the power (the winds) but
direction is needed. That focus or
direction comes from your faith. We only
need as much faith as compared to that of a small mustard seed and we can see
its influence making a great impact.
Don’t cower from asserting your faith in tackling large issues, problems
or projects. Know that God has provided
all that you need and all you must do is take hold of your faith and steer.
Every day is a good day; it is up to us to make it a Victoriously
GREAT day! Be blessed! Dr. JoAnn
