The Significance of Simple Things
The maker of the earth and skies
often used objects of small size
to teach His audience and explain
the deep truths that His Words contain.
One day He used a little child
to teach His students to be mild.
To occupy His kingdom grand
like children they must hold His hand.
The little ants storing supplies
can teach us all how to be wise.
With none to direct or compel
how orderly these creatures dwell.
The mustard seed, though very small
of garden plants they are most tall.
So, like a seed, God’s kingdom grows
exactly how? Only God knows.
A grain of sand tween mantle and shell
spawns pearls that for small fortunes sell.
Faith like a tiny mustard seed
can move mounts that our paths impede.
Small ideas, in curious minds,
have spawned inventions of all kinds.
A tiny thought, sown reaps an act,
that our destiny can impact.
A small act of kindness, heaven knows,
how far that simple action goes.
Only eternity will tell
how many souls it saved from hell.
So, do not despise tiny things
cherish the blessings each one brings.
By doing so the joy you’ll know
upon your countenance will show.
