This past weekend, I went to Midland, TX with my family to visit my wife’s family for Easter. It was an 8 hour trip, very long but, I had the opportunity to talk with my wife about our dreams, things we like, what we would like to accomplish, and what is our calling. I have felt for the longest time, like a dormant volcano, just waiting, building up to “explode” and this magnificent act will happen. As I was listening to my wife speak I was hit by a scripture from the old testament, When it says “a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rock before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind, after the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake, After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire, and after the fire came a gentle whisper… then a voice said to him, “What are you doing here, Elijah?”
I don’t know about any of you, but I always wanted to do something big, but I was blinded and did look at all the small things that must happen. The funny thing is that by doing all these small things, it snowballs to something huge. Just like the body of Christ, I am not the body, I might be a finger nail, or a pinky, or the jaw, just like you are not the Body, but part of the Body and everyone has a small function to perform, and as everybody focus on Christ, the Body will do great things. God is in the smallest things, we overlook every day, starting from the poor at the stop light, to the orphan, to the widow, to a brother or sister that has lost a job, etc. God dwells in the ordinary and mundane. Can you hear God whisper? What is he saying to you?
