You know when you have a CD in your car and it seems that every time you turn on the car, that song is cued up....yeah that's what's happening. The song is titled: Little is Much. The lyrics are great and allow the listener, or the person singing as if they were a finalist in American Idol (that's me!) to really experience the fact that without God we are nothing.
Without God we are ugly, poor, worthless, dirty, stinky, stupid...we aren't good enough, or smart enough, or funny enough. Without God we are simply a continuous spin out of control, a constant fall, a neverending bad dream.
I have God and I am sometimes all of these things.
I guess I used to think that "little is much" was in reference to your income or the worldly stuff you have. I thought that "little is much" referred to the amount of faith you displayed in your day-to-day life. In the song lyrics, it says little is much when God's in it... this week God has opened my eyes to see that a little of Him, what little understanding, knowledge and faith I can muster up in this human heart and mind is nothing compared to the how MUCH He is willing to give me in return.
Now don't misunderstand me: I am not saying that we should settle for the little amount of faith we are comfortable having. No, we should definitely live our every breath striving for a closer relationship with Christ almost to the point where it's uncomfortable. To take the little that we started with and turn it into the much He wants to bless us with. The last verse
Consider a Kingdom in the smallest seed
Consider that giants fall to stones and slings
Consider a child in a manger
Consider the story isn't over
What can be done with what we still have
God, Thank you for being more than enough and so much more than we could even fathom. I praise you for opening my eyes to see what I risk being without you. I will never understand why it is that you would save me.
