Its the little things that matter

Scripture: Num 20:6 - 12: And Moses and Aaron went from the presence of the assembly unto the door of the tabernacle of the congregation, and they fell upon their faces: and the glory of the LORD appeared unto them. And the LORD spake unto Moses, saying, Take the rod, and gather thou the assembly together, thou, and Aaron thy brother, and speak ye unto the rock before their eyes; and it shall give forth his water, and thou shalt bring forth to them water out of the rock: so thou shalt give the congregation and their beasts drink. And Moses took the rod from before the LORD, as he commanded him. And Moses and Aaron gathered the congregation together before the rock, and he said unto them, Hear now, ye rebels; must we fetch you water out of this rock? And Moses lifted up his hand, and with his rod he smote the rock twice: and the water came out abundantly, and the congregation drank, and their beasts [also]. And the LORD spake unto Moses and Aaron, Because ye believed me not, to sanctify me in the eyes of the children of Israel, therefore ye shall not bring this congregation into the land which I have given them.

Observation: It is the little things.... God said to speak to the rock, Moses hit the rock twice.... Does it matter? Yes. The little things are as important as the big things to God. It is because your motive is more important than your action or results.

Application: How often do you hear that still small voice inside of you nudge you to say something or do something, and you either forget or dont pay any attention at all. God also speaks to us through his word, are we doing the things that God has told us to do through his Word? Are we loving the Lord God with all of our heart, and loving our neighbor?

Prayer: Dear Jesus, help me to be faithful in the little things. I know you are good. I trust you to never lead me astray. Amen
