Little is much

A little that a righteous man has is better than the riches of many wicked. - Psalm 37v16

'Does the place you’re called to labour
Seem too small and little known?
It is great if God is in it,
And He’ll not forget His own.

Little is much, when God is in it.

Labour not, for wealth or fame.

There is a crown - and you can win it

If you go in Jesus' name.

The classic gospel song was written in 1924 by Kittie Suffield. I am sure that there are things we could pick apart in this song, but is expresses and great Bible truth that can be of great comfort. 'The little that a righteous man has is better than the riches of many wicked..'

When David and Jonathan faced the enemy back to back they knew that God could deliver 'by many or by few.' When the temple was rebuilt and people were crying that it was not what it used to be Haggai reminded them that they are too rejoice because God was going to His greatest work there. It only took five loaves and two fish to feed a multitude. 'Where two or three are gathered together in my name,' Jesus said, 'I am in their midst.'

Our little is indeed much if God is in it. Though our eyes tell us that we cannot compete with the 'much' of the world God uses it mightily if we are yielded to Him.

It is of great comfort to know that God's little is far better than man's much!
