Little Things: Inspiration for Living a Full Christian Life.

"So whether you eat or drink or whatever you do -- do it all for the glory of God!" 1 Corinthians 10:31 "There is in many people an undefined dread of paying attention to little things, as if they thought that doing so was the sign of a little mind; and that by neglecting trifles, as they call them, they show themselves to be superior in intellect. It is far from my intention to justify, or even excuse, that wearisome attention to minutiae, that incessant fidgettiness about trifles, which all must have at some time or other suffered from; but I would wish, if I could, to convince some of my fellow Christians, that all things are not trifles that are called so, and that, as "little things" may have great consequences, they are well worth attending to. "For small things as well as great, the Christian's rule should be, to "do all to the glory of God;" and if we are enabled from this motive . . . to perform our little duties, to bear our little cares, to strive against our little sins -- we surely will run no danger of degenerating either into anxious carefulness about trifles, or careless neglect of them. "Let our attention to these smaller matters be thus guarded by high motives against becoming trivial; let us sincerely endeavor to seek the good and the happiness of others; let us regard all our daily recurring little cares and duties as part of our appointed work set by our heavenly Father. And surely none can say that "little things" will not be ennobled by this consecration of them to "Him in whom we live, move, and have our being."
