Bible Verse
“Who hath despised the day of small things?”
— Zechariah 4:10 (KJV)
Ellen G. White Quote
“He who is faithful in that which is least is faithful also in much. The little things in life are not to be neglected.”
— Christ’s Object Lessons, p. 356
Reflection
Sometimes we wait for big moments to feel like our lives matter. But Scripture and experience remind us: God often works through small things.
A kind smile. A whispered prayer. A short verse shared at the right time. These seem small to us, but to God, they are seeds of eternal value.
Zechariah 4:10 calls out the human tendency to underestimate humble beginnings. But God delights in using the overlooked and the ordinary to accomplish extraordinary things.
Ellen White encourages us to take seriously the little things. Our faithfulness in them prepares us for greater responsibilities and blessings.
Whatever your "small" looks like today caring for a child, encouraging someone, or just staying faithful in your quiet time know this: God sees, God values, and God multiplies it.
Let This Be Your Prayer Today
Lord, help me to value the small things. Teach me to be faithful in the quiet moments, the unseen tasks, and the little choices. Use even my smallest acts for Your glory. In Jesus’ name, Amen.
