Faith as small as a mustard seed!

Our senior pastor showed us a picture of a mustard seed during his preaching a few years back. Even though the picture was projected onto a big screen, it was very difficult to see it. It was so tiny! The next picture he showed us was a picture of a full-grown mustard tree, and it just took my breath away. Who'd ever thought that a tall and majestic tree sprung out from an extremely tiny seed? In the same manner, we all start as tiny mustard seeds during the early parts of our career. But inside lies the prosperous and abundant life that God has promised you and me. But for that to happen, we need to first do a bit of sowing.

That starts with the little things, like coming to work on time, promptly meeting deadlines and obligations, and doing every single task with a spirit of excellence. Doing these in a very consistent manner does not only give you the respect and recognition from your bosses and colleagues, but you are able to also honor God by being a good example in the workplace because He sees and takes account of all your efforts. Regardless, if we think that these are insignificant or trivial, He will be there to help us nourish what we have sown. In due time, we will reap a bountiful harvest of blessings.

PRAYER: Father God, sometimes I think that my efforts don't seem to count because of my position at work. Help me from this day forward not to despise this season of small beginnings, and consistently to sow my best. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
