Throughout the Bible, we read of the subtle power of small things.
In I Kings, the prophet Elijah sent his servant to look for a rain cloud seven times. At last, the servant said he saw a little cloud as small as a man’s hand coming up from the sea. Elijah told him to hurry, because the rain was coming. Sure enough in only a moment, “the sky grew dark with clouds and wind, and a heavy rain fell.”
Proverbs speaks of the wisdom of tiny ants, the cunning of tiny hyraxes making their homes in rocky crags, the organization of migrating locusts, and the agility of lizards, making their way into kings’ palaces. Jesus taught that the tiny mustard seed could grow into the largest of plants. Though only a youth, David the shepherd boy was able to conquer the mighty Goliath.
Therefore, let these words of Lisa Firestone’s be our prayer today: “Though I be small, God, give me the grace to be love’s beacon while I’m in this place. Help me be all I can for the human race. Use me, Spirit, though I be so very, very small.”
