Today's devotional was titled, "For God's Little People." That's pretty much how I'm feeling lately, very little. So much happening on the world's stage with all the saber-rattling, a multitude of voices clamoring to be heard. I try to speak up, to be heard, but my small voice gives out after a while. I withdraw and go listen to music. It speaks to me and speaks for me, at times.
I love the end of the devotional.
Do not think, because you experience adversity, that the hand of the Lord is shortened. It is not our prosperity but our holiness that he seeks with all his heart. And to that end, he rules the whole world. As Proverbs 21:1 says, “The king’s heart is a stream of water in the hand of the Lord; he turns it wherever he will.”
He is a big God for little people, and we have great cause to rejoice that, unbeknownst to them, all the kings and presidents and premiers and chancellors of the world follow the sovereign decrees of our Father in heaven, that we, the children, might be conformed to the image of his Son, Jesus Christ.
I love this song. That's what Christmas is all about, Charlie Brown.
