The Least in the Kingdom
"For the Lord hath called thee, being as a woman forsaken, and afflicted in spirit, and as a young wife when thou wast refused..." Isaiah 54:6
Feeling forsaken? Unseen? Tired and Lonely ~ as if you can't face another day in the same situation?
The Lord does see ~ ever beholding your every breath.
"The Lord is near unto them that are of a contrite heart, and will save such as be afflicted in spirit." Psalm 34:18
"And blessed is he that shall not be offended in me. And as they departed, Jesus began to speak unto the multitude of John, What went ye out into the wilderness to see?a reed shaken with the wind? But what went ye out to see? A man clothed in soft raiment? Behold they that wear soft clothing, are in kings' houses. But what went ye out to see? A prophet? Yea, I say unto you, and more than a Prophet. For this is he of whom it is written, Behold, I send my messenger before thy face which shall prepare thy way before thee. Verily I say unto you, Among them which are begotten of women, arose there not a greater than John Baptist, notwithstanding, he that is least in the kingdom of heaven, is greater than he." Matthew 11:6-11
Greater than John the Baptist? The least in the kingdom?
Let us not measure our 'worth' by the size of our audience, but by the quality of our service. We may not have multitudes at our feet, but what we do have matters in the kingdom and it's what we have been called to do with the work of our hands.
"I will lift up mine eyes unto the mountains, from whence my help shall come. Mine help cometh from the Lord, which hath made heaven and the earth." Psalm 121:1-2
"Let us not be weary of well doing: for in due season we shall reap, if we faint not." Galations 6:9
