Little is much if God is in it

I will praise thee; for I am fearfully and wonderfully made: marvellous are thy works. (Psalm 139:14a KJV)

 Although I’ve had faith in Jesus since childhood, I often compared myself with those who’d witnessed healings and other dramatic miracles—thinking I’d missed out.

I was born two months premature, weighing only three pounds at birth, it was in the middle of a typhoon. I was moved to the intensive care unit—the only area with working electricity. My parents were told that I’d most likely not survive the night. But when my dad prayed, he recalled the saying, “Little is much if God is in it.” Although I was very “little” and had to stay in the incubator for a month—and was given too much oxygen, which is apparently what caused my blindness—I pulled through and am still alive and well today.

God certainly can work truly remarkable miracles that leave us speechless and amazed. Both the Bible and Christian history are full of such amazing stories. But I have come to learn that when we recognize and acknowledge the seemingly small—albeit obvious—ways God manifests Himself to us, He will often increase the visible expressions of His power so that He can be glorified even more.

Do you find yourself struggling to see God’s hand in your life? Take a walk down memory lane, and let Him remind you of how He’s never left you nor forsaken you. This will encourage your faith to believe that He does not intend to leave you nor forsake you today. —Steve Hearts [1]

How quickly we forget God's great deliverances in our lives. How easily we take for granted the miracles he performed in our past. —David Wilkerson
