The Little things
I just realized that I have ministered to others in the little things that happen from day to day. The other evening I had an employee of mine who is seventeen to train another person on the register. Her response to me was “but I am so young”. I told her that I know she could do it and that I had all the faith in her. I then started doing something else when holy spirit reminded me of David and how old he was when Samuel went to annoint him as the king of Israel. When Samuel went to Jesse he saw his older sons and assumed that one of them would be the annointed one but the Lord said “Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him. The Lord does not look at the things man looks at. man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart.” Samuel goes through all the sons but non of them were to be chosen. David “the youngest” was sent for and Samuel annoints him for the Lord said “he is the one”. I shared with my employee what holy spirit reminded me of and it really gave her a lift. And on top of that I was ministered to as well. It reminded me to not judge by what I see because the Lord see’s it in a whole other perspective.

that’s awesome! We have to devolop the ability to “see the king in the kid” when other’s do not. Seeing greatness in others even when it isn’t obvious is something you have to work at and consciously do. But if you look, you can always find it in people. For some, it may be their first discovery that there just might be greatness in them. Through us.
