"Little Acts of Obedience"
By Kate Prado
I have just climbed another rung
on the ladder of life,
as I reluctantly celebrated my 60th birthday.
So, now I have finally reached an age
where I really can look back and view living
from the grand stand and say,
"Yes, I have been there before."
I found for the most part,
it was not the big things in my life
that made the real difference in where
I am today. It was the small steps.
I call them the "little acts of obedience,"
which really seemed to make the difference.
Why would God take the time to see
if we will be faithful in the smaller things?
I guess, like He says in His Word,
so we can truly be trusted
with the more important tasks
He needs done.
I wish I had understood this at sixteen.
I cannot imagine what a difference
it would have made in my life
upon reaching sixty,
but I have learned it now.
When I hear
His voice whisper to my spirit,
touch me in my heart and soul,
asking me to do something for Him...
I now know to only answer,
"Yes, Lord, I'm the woman for the job."
"His lord said unto him,
Well done, good and faithful servent;
thou hast been faithful over a few things,
I will make thee ruler over many things:
enter thou into the joy
of the Lord."
Matthew 25:23
The Dreamers
Some called you a "dreamer"
when you shared the secret
of the image conceived
in your soul...
was it so long ago?
But it was dreamers
who watched a shooting star
in the night,
and would not be content
until they followed.
The dreamers are the
passionate ones,
who carry visions
within the wombs of their
imaginations...
Until they are birthed,
breath life and cry out,
then go forth to stir the world
with their changes.
"Behold, I have dreamed a dream..."
Genesis 37:9
