Message Notes: When have you been moved by the big influence of something little? What’s your typical approach when it comes to New Year’s aims, goals, and/or resolutions? How might Paul’s words in Philippians 4:13 (reflecting on life and ministry resourcing) encourage you at the start of the year? Consider these biblical examples of the big influence of little things. What do you learn from each? Exodus 23:30— 1 Samuel 14:29— 1 Kings 17:10-13— Ezra 9:8— Isaiah 11:6— Micah 5:2— Luke 16:10— Genesis 3:15— Ponder this: God delights to work in and through incremental moves, tiny places, small things, and even seemingly little people. How are you challenged, stretched, or encouraged by this concept of “seed-focused” living in the New Year? What are one or two “little things” you’ll aim to do with greater intentionality moving into ’24? What will it take to implement such ideas? How will you trust Jesus for help? Get Ready for Next Week: Read each day from one or more of the following: Matthew 6:30; Matthew 8:26; Matthew 14:31; Matthew 16:8; Luke 12:28.
