Appreciate The Little Things

Wanting nice things is a humanly desire. We all have them. The bible says the if we seek God and live by him he will give us the desires of out heart. We all want a massive mansion to live in, a expensive luxurious car, a beautiful spouse to come home to, a cushy high paying job, but sometimes we aren't ready for those things, yet. God will give us something small and see how we respond to it. Being faithful with the lesser will show God you can handle the bigger blessings. Doing so takes much patience. The longer the wait, the bigger the blessing. You may get a small bump in pay at your job and that is a test. God wants to see how you handle having a little bit more money. Are you going to blow it on things you do not need or will the money be managed correctly. This is a test because what if God allows you to receive a several hundred thousand dollar raise. If you can't manage a extra couple hundred dollars there is no way you will be able to manage thousands. You may not think anything of it but It can be seen as a season of planting. When you first plant a flower, you won't see anything growing out of the soil for a while, but you still must water it. The same goes for your life. You might not see the fruits of your labor but you must continue to push forward and remain faithful. God wants to make sure you are ready for the blessings he is about to give to you.
