MATTHEW 13:31-35

 

Key Verse: "Another parable spake he unto them; The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened" (Matthew 13:33).

     A very little or insignificant thing sometimes makes a great difference. If you have ever been to a bakery where bread is being made, you will discover that the ingredient needed to make the bread rise to become a big loaf is tiny yeast. The yeast, as tiny as it is, compared to the quantity of the other ingredients, always makes the difference.

     Little things that we often neglect to take care of can either have a positive or negative impact on important or even life-threatening matters.

For example, Lot's wife neglected the instruction not to look back, she did and became a pillar of salt. On the positive side, the command to preach the gospel that the disciples started in a small way, has yielded so much fruit that it has spread to every part of the world.

     The lesson you should take to heart here is that you should not neglect to take care of little things that may affect your life either positively or negatively.

Close your eyes while praying, it will shut out distractions. Wake up a little bit earlier than usual so as to have enough time to do quiet time and prepare for the day's activities.

     Copy your notes at the right time, do your homework and assignment well, and submit at the appropriate time. Buckle your shoes/sandals, wear your clothes appropriately and be smart. Pay attention to cleanliness of your body and environment. God will help you to always do the right thing at the right time.

 

Prayer: Lord, give me the wisdom to always pay attention to little things that matter.
