Little Things

Too often we think that in little things, less than Omnipotence will do, and then it is that we fail. Have we not seen zealous and devoted Christians fail in some trifling thing? The cause is that they have not thought of bringing God by faith into all their ways. Abraham could leave his family and his father's house and go out at the command of God, not knowing whither he went. But the moment he meets a difficulty in his own wisdom, and gets down into Egypt, what does he do? He constantly fails in comparatively small things.
Faith discerns our own weakness so clearly that it sees nothing less than the power of God can enable us to overcome in anything. Faith never makes light of the danger, for it knows what we are. On the other hand, faith never faints at the danger, because it knows what God is. Things New and Old
