Serving God

"When God will not use thee in one kind, yet He will in another. A soul that desires to serve and honour Him shall never want opportunity to do it; nor must thou so limit the Holy One of Israel, as to think He hath but one way in which He can glorify Himself by thee. He can do it by thy silence as well by thy preaching; thy laying aside as well as thy continuance in thy work."

North and South by Elizabeth Gaskell

A very good reminder, Katie! It reminds me that "little is much when God is in it." Our obedience to God in even what seems to be the smallest matter to us could be what God wants to use to break the chains of hell, either in our own lives or in the lives of others.

Wow, that was just what I needed today. I often times forget to be always looking for a way God could use me. Even when I am just doing my own little thing, if I'm not listening to him I miss out on what he had planned. Perfect Katie!!
