The Value of a Single Simple Step

Hi friend,
I hope you had a nice week. Our Thought for this week is on “The Value of a Single Simple Step”. When I was a small boy, I used to take my father’s cattle to graze in the forest. One day as I sat under a tree, I saw a Weaver bird come with a piece of grass on its beak. It fixed it between some leaves in one of the trees and left. After some time, it came back with another piece of grass and fixed it on the same spot. It repeated the same for several hours and I realized that something good was taking shape. By the time I was going home, the weaver bird had already built its nest half way. By the end of the following day, the nest was complete.

This weaver bird taught me a lesson that has kept me going to date. “Never ignore the little you can do however insignificant if may appear”. Never ignore whatever you have however small it may be. You just need to do whatever you can, using whatever little you have. You can ignore a piece of grass but that is what a bird needs to build a nest. You can ignore the little ability you have or whatever little resources you have but that is what you need to build your life. May God help us this week and through out our lives to appreciate the value of every single small step that we take as we build our lives through Christ who strengthens us.

Verse of the week: He gives power to the weak, and to those who have no might, He increases strength. (Isaiah 40:29)
God bless you.
