What About Small Things?
Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us,
Ephesians 3:20
Ephesians 3:20
This is an incredible verse when you think about it. Sometimes, we have a limiting belief that God can only do certain things, and the truth is, that He can do anything. He can do big things, and he can do small things. He can do way more than we can ask, or even imagine! Your greatest thoughts and ideas are just a fraction of what God can do.
I’ve had people ask me, “Is it okay to pray for my dog that’s sick, or for my toe that hurts? Sometimes, I think I’m wasting God’s time by asking him for small things.” Of course, it’s okay! Do you think God thinks of any of your problems, as BIG problems? Of course not! They are all small problems to Him.
One of my favorite lines is, did it ever occur to you, that nothing ever ‘occurred’ to God? God knows it all. And nothing is impossible for Him. As the ESV says, “For nothing will be impossible with God.” So bring your big, small, impossible problems to God, because he can care for them all.
One of the things I love about being a dad is that when my kids were little, they thought I could do anything. Now, as they got older they moved past that, but their belief or faith that their father could do it all, was amazing! It’s the same way with our heavenly father. He can do immeasurably more than we ask…or imagine!

Think about it
- Is there anything you’ve thought was too small or too big for God to handle?
- Have you felt that God didn’t see your problem on the horizon?
- Are you ready for God to do even more than you ever imagined?
