“Little by little, one travels far.” — J.R.R. Tolkien
Faithfulness over time moves mountains. No obedience is too small. No point of faith is insignificant. Little by little, like Tolkien said, one travels far.
Matthew 13:33
Another parable spake he unto them; "The kingdom of heaven is like unto leaven, which a woman took, and hid in three measures of meal, till the whole was leavened.”
Leaven works its way through the lump slowly, but surely. Little by little it marches on and before you know it, the entire loaf is leavened.
Christians are called to the long game. We are to be faithful for as long as it takes while remaining expectant in each passing minute. We plan for our great-grandchildren while preparing our hearts for this afternoon. We faithfully live like we will be ancestors and like we may meet Jesus this evening.
Faithfulness over time moves mountains.
Everything is going somewhere, and sooner or later it's going to get there. And Amen.
