He Remembers

God is not unjust; he will not forget your work and the love you have shown him as you have helped his people and continue to help them. Hebrews 6:10

James Sizoo said, 'Glamour isn't greatness, applause isn't fame, prominence isn't eminence. The man of the hour isn't apt to be the man of the ages. A stone may sparkle but that doesn't make it a diamond. People may have money but that doesn't make them a success. It's the seemingly unimportant people who determine the course of history. The greatest forces in the universe are never spectacular. Summer showers do more good than hurricanes but they don't get a lot of publicity. The world would soon die but for the fidelity, loyalty, creativity and commitment of those whose names are un-honored and unsung.'

You may not think you count for much in God's kingdom because you don't have certain limelight gifts like preaching, teaching or leading in public. Wrong! Listen: 'God...will not forget your work and the love you have shown...as you...helped His people...' The Bible says, 'People look at the outside...the Lord looks at the heart' (1 Samuel 16:7). God sees you working behind the scenes, caring for sick or aged loved ones, raising your children, encouraging others and contributing where you can.

Will Rogers said, 'We can't all be heroes, somebody has to sit on the curb and clap as they go by.' So remember, when you think you're too small to do big things, try doing small things with a big heart. And one more thing: '...Don't get discouraged and give up, for [you] will reap a harvest of blessing at the appropriate time' (Galatians 6:9). That's a promise God will keep!

Prayer
Heavenly Father, help me to serve faithfully with the little things that make the big difference for you! In Jesus’ Name, Amen
