Book of Ezra; and Billy Graham

We often measure significance by size, beauty, or worldly standards. But heaven sees things completely differently.

The rebuilt temple in Jerusalem looked shabby compared to Solomon's magnificent structure. The people who built it were disappointed, thinking they had failed God. Yet that "lesser" temple became the very place where Jesus walked, taught, and ultimately brought peace to all mankind.

An unnamed usher at a revival meeting simply refused to let two teenage boys walk away without hearing the gospel. We still don't know his name, but those two boys were Billy Graham and Grady Wilson, who went on to share the gospel with more people than anyone in human history.

Your small act of obedience matters. That conversation you have, the person you encourage, the simple task you do faithfully - you have no idea what God will do with it from an eternal perspective.

Don't discount what seems insignificant by the world's standards. The little things matter to God. He often uses what we overlook to change the world.

What "small thing" is God calling you to be faithful in today? Don't despise it. You never know what kingdom impact it might have.
