God of small things

I want to share something that God has been conveying to me, and I believe that God is going to inscrbe these words onto my heart in these days. I prasise Him for He was *done* it.
__God_of_the_SMALL_things__
Yes, God is Big. He thinks and does things that are big and huge. It is like a huge painting that God is making. This huge painting will only be beautiful when He looks at very small details, may he a black strand or a blot of black paint in a 1x1 cm area of the canvas of universe. Yes, He searched for small things like you and me. He went for the weak, faint and the unworthy.(Isaiah 40:29 "He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might he increaseth strength.")
When God, is faithful in small things, He expects us also to be faithful in small things. Just like to put down few verses and let God talk with our hearts.

Songs of Solomon2:15 Seize ye for us foxes, **Little foxes**--destroyers of vineyards, Even our sweet-smelling vineyards.
Zechariah 4:10 For who has had a poor opinion of the day of small things?
Here the word of God is reffering to stopped work of the Temple of God. The people gave less importance to God's House. This is just another small thing you may say. In the New Testamant, this House of God is you and I, the Temple of God. Haggai describes the heart of God when we care less about the House of God.
Haggai 1:1-11
1 In the second year of Darius the king, in the sixth month, in the first day of the month, came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet unto Zerubbabel the son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua the son of Josedech, the high priest, saying,
2 Thus speaketh the LORD of hosts, saying, This people say, The time is not come, the time that the LORD's house should be built.
3 Then came the word of the LORD by Haggai the prophet, saying,
4 Is it time for you, O ye, to dwell in your cieled houses, and this house lie waste?
5 Now therefore thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
6 Ye have sown much, and bring in little; ye eat, but ye have not enough; ye drink, but ye are not filled with drink; ye clothe you, but there is none warm; and he that earneth wages earneth wages to put it into a bag with holes.
7 Thus saith the LORD of hosts; Consider your ways.
8 Go up to the mountain, and bring wood, and build the house; and I will take pleasure in it, and I will be glorified, saith the LORD.
9 Ye looked for much, and lo, it came to little; and when ye brought it home, I did blow upon it. Why? saith the LORD of hosts. Because of mine house that is waste, and ye run every man unto his own house.
10 Therefore the heaven over you is stayed from dew, and the earth is stayed from her fruit.
11 And I called for a drought upon the land, and upon the mountains, and upon the corn, and upon the new wine, and upon the oil, and upon that which the ground bringeth forth, and upon men, and upon cattle, and upon all the labour of the hands.

Let us be faithful in small things, which is possible by Christ. I can do all things with Christ that strengthens me. Glory be to God alone.
