Small Things? You May Never See? You May Never Know?

SMALL THINGS? YOU MAY NEVER SEE? YOU MAY NEVER KNOW?

By Wade Martin Hughes, Sr. Kyfingers@aol.com (Two part)

A VICTIM SPIRIT WILL OFTEN SAY: LORD, I DON’T KNOW HOW I AM GOING TO DO THIS? WE NEED TO HAVE THE ATTITUDE TO SPEAK: LORD, I CAN’T WAIT TO SEE HOW YOU ARE GOING TO HANDLE THIS! Can we realize often what we think the problem is not the problem? Maybe the problem is our focus?

WE KNOW THERE ARE MANY GREAT QUESTIONS FROM THE BEGINNING OF THE AGES… ONE OF THOSE GREAT QUESTIONS IS WHAT ABOUT SMALL THINGS? There can be a great spiritual battle because we tend to overlook small things…

LITTLE THINGS? 1. WHY BE A VICTIM? WHY CARRY THIS LOAD? 2. WHY SHOULD WE ALLOW OURSELVES TO BECOME SATANIC BAIT?

We need to acknowledge small things build our words, our behavior, our deeds and our attitudes. You are a product of your small, menial choices. CHOICES HAVE CONSEQUENCES… At death we will be remembered by small things…

1 Peter 5:7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you. 8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour:

WE CAN’T SEE ROOTS? ARE WE ALLOWING LITTLE THINGS TO SLOWLY TAKE ROOTS THAT DEFINE US AS VICTIMS? ARE WE SLOWLY GROWING TOWARD SPIRITUAL DEATH… GRADUALNESS… DO WE FORGET HOW SMALL THINGS MATTER?

Nobody loves me... I am not appreciated as I should be... People are mean to me... CRUEL... I AM OPPRESSED... Heavy, weighed down, BURDENED IN SPIRIT…

Hebrews 12:15 Looking diligently lest any man fail of the grace of God; lest any root of bitterness springing up trouble you, and thereby many be defiled;

LITTLE THINGS? STARVED TO DEATH FULL OF FOOD?

Matthew 24:10 And then shall many be offended, and shall betray one another, and shall hate one another.

We raised 100 Rhode Island Red chickens. Japanese people came every Friday and bought every fresh brown egg we had. I am from the city and know very little about farm animals. One of my best laying hens was dead? I was concerned and I asked Bob, a dear friend, to look at my dead chicken as I never wanted disease to hurt us.

Bob looked at my chicken and immediately identified the problem. BOB said “SUITCASE CRAWL.” Chickens do not have teeth. They have a crawl. The chickens eat shell or small rocks that grind the food before it goes in the stomach. Bob told me the chicken starved to death? How? There is plenty of food? The hen ate plenty of food. Bob explained the food was trapped in the CRAWL. The more the hen ate the worse the problem became. THE CHICKEN STARVED TO DEATH FULL OF FOOD? TO SUFFER HURT, PAIN AND INJURY... everything is hard, the earth iron... heaven is brass... Everyone you know are HEADSHRINKERS, people torture you... YOU ARE PUTTING EVERY EGG IN YOUR ENEMY'S BASKET...

SMALL THINGS DESTRUCTION? DESTRUCTION BY A LITTLE SMALL VINE?

Zechariah 4:10 For who hath despised the day of small things? for they shall rejoice, and shall see the plummet in the hand of Zerubbabel with those seven; they are the eyes of the LORD, which run to and fro through the whole earth.

There is a true story about the KUDZU VINE that has invaded the southern USA. The KUDZU VINE came from China that was introduced in the south to help control EROSION and save our environment. Once KUDZU VINES STARTS GROWING IT IS RAMPANT and can grow and take over vast areas of land in one year. We have a serious problem that KUDZU VINES threaten the trees and forest.

KUDZU was introduced in the 1876 World’s Fair in Philadelphia. Congress declared war on soil erosion and opened up 70 million vines to grow in nurseries around the south. The government offered farmers $8.00 an acre to anyone that would plant KUDZU on their farms. Thousands of acres of land was destroyed by drought and the barren land needed a “healing touch” for plants to turn the land green again.

All along new highway cuts and railroad development erosion was destroying the land. THE MIRACLE VINE that would save the south. Seems there was a curse with the miracle vine. The KUDZU VINE was a lot like JACK AND THE BEANSTALK. Soon the KUDZU PLANT WAS KILLING THOUSANDS OF TREES AS THE VINE WAS COVERING GOOD HEALTHY TREES AND CHOKING OUT THE LIGHT. KUDZU soon swallowed up junk yards, houses and destroyed thousands of acres of public and private forests.

IN 1998 CONGRESS OFFICIALLY PASSED A LAW THAT LISTED KUDZU A FEDERAL NOXIOUS WEED ACT. Today the invasive KUDZU VINE IS A SERIOUS PROBLEM… The NORMAN WILDER FOREST was taken over by a solid area of KUDZU. Many states, North Carolina, Mississippi, Kentucky, Florida and others have become canopies covered that destroys and kills by SMOTHERING OUT THE LIGHT. SLOW DEATH BY A SMALL THING… I AM A VICTIM.
