An Army of ONE.

Little is much when God is in it. 

So many of us on the sidewalk and supporters of the sidewalk wonder if we make a dent, if we are heard, if lives are being saved. You see this surreal, blurry nightmare play out in front of you of death and hell. It's incredible to see so much deception around LIFE and so many trying to kill it. 

Little is MUCH when God is in it.

In ministry, we are seed planters. We keep planting. And planting. Paul said, "I have planted, Apollos watered; but God gave the increase. So then neither is he that planteth any thing, neither he that watereth; but God that giveth the increase," [1Cor 3:6-7]. I have to trust God that I have planted seed and let Him, allow Him to nurture it. Once I let go and let God, I stopped trying to be as God. The results are His,  not mine. 

Little is MUCH when GOD is in it.

Pray that God brings you just one soul to witness to. Just one. It's a funny thing - whenever I ask God to do that, He answers. Sometimes He brings a pre-abortive mom or dad to me, sometimes a passerby who hates us, sometimes who thanks us. We never know, we shouldn't know. We just need to trust Him and enjoy what He will do!

Little is MUCH when GOD IS IN IT.

Jesus fed the five thousand by blessing what was there, two fish and five loaves, much to the amazement and awe of His disciples. They saw in the natural and reacted in the natural, "Send them away, that they may go into the country round about, and into the villages, and buy themselves bread: for they have nothing to eat," [Mark 6:36]. 

But have you blessed what you have? Jesus did, He took the food that was there and blessed it. His provision is better than ours! Why do we fight Him? Even an army of one can do what a multitude can't, if God is in it:

41 And when he had taken the five loaves and the two fishes, he looked up to heaven, and blessed, and brake the loaves, and gave them to his disciples to set before them; and the two fishes divided he among them all.42 And they did all eat, and were filled.43 And they took up twelve baskets full of the fragments, and of the fishes.44 And they that did eat of the loaves were about five thousand men. [Mark 6:41-44]
Your efforts are not unnoticed, your calling is sure. Don't lose hope or give up...but look UP.
