A Blog About Walking With God

Small Can Lead To Big

        Often, Jesus will ask us for something small to unlock something greater. In John 4, Jesus asked the woman at the well for a drink of water. Jews had no dealings with the Samaritans, and saw them as a mixed-race people. The hostility between the two groups ran deep.

        The woman may have thought Jesus was audacious to ask her for a drink. But He did not hesitate to make His request. He knew He was going to offer her something far greater than what He was asking for.

        In John 6, Jesus asked for a boy’s lunch to feed a multitude. The small lunch the boy gave up fed thousands.

        Jesus told a blind man to go and wash in the pool of Siloam. I’m sure Jesus could have healed him then and there, but the man’s act of obedience gained him his sight.

        In 1 Kings 17, Elijah asked a widow in Zarephath during a famine for a drink of water and a piece of bread. She was gathering sticks to make her last meal before she and her son died.

      But she chose to obey, and through her obedience, Elijah, and the woman and her family, were sustained through the draught.

        Miracles can come our way, even when we’re not searching for them. The Samaritan woman was not searching for God. The Zarephath widow wasn’t expecting a miracle. Their obedience unlocked the door to miracles.

        I recently read about a Christian man who was visiting a woman he hadn’t seen in years. She was celebrating a birthday. He asked the Lord to guide him as to what gift he should bring. The Lord led him to a framed picture of the Confederation Bridge, which connects Prince Edward Island to New Brunswick.

        When the man gave the woman the gift, she began to cry. That morning, she had asked the Lord about her purpose and calling. The longing of her heart was to do His will.

        God spoke to her that day and told her she was a “bridge connector” – someone who links people together for divine purposes. The photograph confirmed the word she had received from God.

        What God asks of us may seem small, or even unreasonable. But if we choose to obey, our act of obedience can be the key that unlocks blessings for others, as well as ourselves.
​
        God often uses the release of what we hold in our hand to loose what He holds in His.

    In this Blog, I want to share with you some of the things I've learned from many years of following Jesus. 

    Also, I'd like to impart some of what is involved in writing Christian romance fiction.

    I'd love to receive your comments in either category.
