The small things in our lives that hold us back are not of God. God created us to be larger than life. He demonstrated this so well when he made us in his own image. JPJ
Whenever I hear talks about the illuminati, I shake my head and immediately redirect my attention to something that is more profitable to me and God. I am amazed by the energy directed towards the subject. I am not “knocking” anyone or their messages surrounding the illuminati; I just prefer to direct my attention to a more favorable reality. I refuse to acknowledge or give life to “small things” that are not of God. Some may argue that awareness is important and I agree but extending our focus, giving life to the enemy’s small deeds is not my choice. I instead choose to focus on the biggest picture, and that is God.
It begs the question though, why do we get so caught up in giving power to small things? Do we not know that small things belong to the enemy and he uses these small things to distract us from the bigger things that should be our focus? It is natural for us to be focused on small things but God wants us to move into the bigger things that are predestined for us.
Stop sweating the small stuff, they add no value to us. They steal our time and energy that can be better spent on God’s bigger things.
I refer to things such as watching each other, meaningless conversations that add no value to us, wanting to be upset rather than happy etc.
Sometimes we wonder why we seem stuck in life, maybe we should check “ourselves” to see what our focus is. Could it be that our minds are stuck in the “small things zone”?
We need to be careful about giving life to small things, they can be damaging to us. In James 3:5 (TLB) the bible tells us “So also the tongue is a small thing, but what enormous damage it can do. A great forest can be set on fire by one tiny spark”.
Listening is a bigger gift to give to others. Lets give our tongue a break.
In order for us to see and do the big things in life (joy, peace, encouraging others, doing God’s work, making his light shine though us etc) we need to be reprogrammed. Reprogramming our total being to surrendering to God’s will. This is not easy as we are wired to be in control but not until we understand that we are not in control; not until we acknowledge God and experience him, will we be able to surrender. True surrender is knowing and trusting God and understanding that he will take care of us no matter the circumstance.
It is living Life without fear.
Let us start thinking big thoughts which are God focused. The biggest encouragement I could offer is for us to be about Love. It is the foundation and everything revolves around it.
What is a bigger picture – tearing others down and making them feel insignificant or building each other up in Love to become larger than life?
Let us choose wisely and intentionally.
Affirm: Small things are a waste of time that does not add value to anyone or any situation. I choose to focus purposefully and intentionally on the big things that are of God. It is well and I am well.
