BIG and little.

This morning Jesus pointed out the 
'weightier matters of the law'   

He was speaking to the
Law keepers 
and
Law teachers 
who seemed to get stuck on 
the details 
and miss the big picture....     

Justice 
Mercy 
Faithfulness 

ref Matt 23:23, 24

Hmmm....

' to strain out a gnat
and swallow a camel'.....

I wonder if I was being evaluated
on the principles of Heaven
being carried out on earth
What would I be focused on
and what would be missing...?

Hmm...

is Justice front and center?.....
or
is that for those with 'causes'.... the 'activists'....

Mercy...
taking the time to hear the story
step into another's pain
fully appreciate their situation?.....

and hang in there
for the long story
Faithful....
even when the game changes
and the players seem to have different rules....

Hmm

Lord,
Your principles are eternal
and
BIG

I like to think being occupied with the little things
is so much easier....

and Yet You call me to these things
BIG
and
little...

So....
By Your Spirit
Day by day
Moment by moment
I choose to release this vessel
..my life
for You to present Your life
through me....

Yes.
