We looked up one day, hundreds of us on our way home from school, to see the huge blimp floating slowly through the sky.
“I wonder,” said one little fellow, “what we look like from up there.”
“We don’t show at all,” answered another. “Only big things show from up there.”
Yes, little fellow, you are right, as any flier could tell you. But how do you look from above the bright blue sky? How do you look from heaven, where God is?
God sees little people, yes, and counts every hair on their heads too. Imagine that! But we really cannot imagine or understand God’s wisdom. We can just say, “Yes, Lord,” to what His Word tells us.
Perhaps you are very little, and have just done some “little” sins today. Most people don’t know what you have done at all. They can’t see and they don’t care. But God sees. Perhaps He does not call your deeds “little” at all. A lie is not a little thing in God’s sight for nothing less than the precious blood of Christ, can put it away. A cup of cold water is not just a “little” thing either, if you are saved, and carry it carefully to give to someone just to please the Lord Jesus.
