Pass The Small Tests

Many people expect the voice of God to boom like a loudspeaker but scripture tells us that He speaks in a still, small voice. To us, it seems like an impression inside. We think, “I know I shouldn’t gossip. I know I should take steps to quit my bad habits. I know I should take better care of myself.” The “I knows” are God talking to you. Don’t ignore it; learn to be quick to obey.

The bible says, “If anyone knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.” A lot of the time we know what we should do but we make excuses to justify not doing it. But, we have to understand God doesn’t prompt us to do it for His sake. He asks us to do it for our own sake; to make us better and develop the best in us.

I’ve learned through much of my own trial and error that before God will release big blessings for you, He will give you small tests. Too often we dismiss it and think, “Oh, that’s no big deal.” But if you don’t pass these small tests it will keep you from the big things God has lined up for you.

Today, don’t put off the little things that you know you should be doing any longer. Take a step of faith and obey Him. As you’re faithful in the little things and pass the small tests, He will be faithful to lead you into the greater things and bigger blessings.
