Remain Little< ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>
1 Samuel 15:10-23
How long should you remain little? It is better to remain little forever. Being little does not indicate that you have to be small in stature or in thinking when you are in the midst of your colleague. Being little will always be a blessing because it keeps you spiritually locatable. Being little will always make you receptive to ideas and suggestions when it matters. Above all, being little will definitely make you consistent to GodÕs direction. Saul was little in his own eyes when God spotted him for a great assignment. 1 Samuel 15:17, ÒSo Samuel said, ÔWhen you were little in your own eyes, were you not head of the tribes of < ?xml version='1.0' encoding='utf-8'?>Israel? And did not the LORD anoint you king over Israel?ÕÓ It is clear that Saul was anointed king because of the spirit he had in the beginning of GodÕs placement of his life. When he became king, when he was elevated with a title, and when he was in a place of power, he was no longer little in his own eyes. Saul became a man that followed only the dictate of his heart. No wonder Jesus said in Matthew 18:3, ÒAssuredly, I say to you, unless you are converted and become as little children, you will by no means enter the kingdom of heaven.Ó To be little must fall in line with one being as little children. Have you really considered where God has positioned you today? Have you considered it as a special place for a special assignment where the purpose of being there is yet to be revealed unto you? Let not your shoulder rise above your head because you are not beyond GodÕs hand. Give no room to what could cause GodÕs hand to be withdrawn in your life assignment. Do not let God regret His placement of your life. Ask for grace to carry you through. He is a faithful God.
