Obedience in the Small Things
I believe it was pastor Steven Furtick who said that spiritual maturity comes not from constantly pursuing God in the big things, but being obedient in the small things. Are you more concerned with God’s ‘will’ for your life than you are with obeying him throughout the day?
Praying every day, having a good attitude, reading and memorizing the word, and not hesitating when we feel God asking us to do something are often much harder than going on a mission trip across the globe or trying to figure out God’s will at a big conference.
Let’s be diligent with the small things this week girls!

It is so true. If I don’t obey God in the small areas of my life the big areas are all messed up because I am not living every aspect of my life to serve God.

I think the verse that talks about “to him who has been given much, much is required”, often is only related to the big things in life like money, career etc. I believe however it also incorporates time. Each day has 24 hours, 1440 minutes, 86 400 seconds. We have the opportunity of taking each moment captive and being faithful to God in the small and mundane things of life. We are called to bring glory to God-and we can do that with every moment, every decision-big or small!
