Little Is Much When God's In It

​I started the year this morning taking a 6-mile walk with a dear friend; (YES to starting the year with my longest walk in MONTHS - bring it 2026!!).

But on our walk, an old favorite song of mine came up - Little Is Much, by Downhere. Maybe you'd like to reflect on it as we did to start the new year.

At the start of the new year, we often have BIG dreams. But too often, I fear, those BIG dreams are built on a false narrative that what we are already doing is too small. They are often built on looking around and deciding what he or she or they are doing is more than me, so I need to do more this year.

I am grateful that I follow a God who sees us all as seeds. Not big seeds or small seeds but quite simply - seeds.

Seeds with which he changes the world.

Seeds that look like:

A mom.

A millionaire.

A janitor.

A writer.

A Heisman trophy winner.

A volunteer in the childcare center at church.

An Uber driver.

A CEO.

God looks at that list and sees seeds, not a ranking or a hierarchy. The minute we believe we have to be someone else on that list to do big things in God's eyes is the moment we do not know God.

As you go into the new year, maybe you don't need to dream big. Maybe you just need to spend a little more time reflecting on how BIG God sees what you see as small.

Sometimes we don't need to make our dreams bigger, but rather, we need to have a bigger view of God.

Sometimes we simply need to be reminded:

Little Is Much When God's In It.
