So there was like 200 people already gathered in the Video Venue. It was going to be a good Sunday ... I could already feel it. We had about 5 minutes before the count down. Someone walked up from the media booth and let me know that we didn't have any audio or video feed from the Heroes building where Pastor Joe is. We delayed as long as we could, but we had to shut the 9:30 service down and send everyone over to the other sanctuary. No one could figure out what could have happened until half way through the service. The A/V Company came out to the church and we figured our that it was one ethernet cable that was in the right spot, but about a millimeter away from being plugged all the way in. When it was pushed the rest of the way in all of the sudden we had audio and video on all of the outside screens and the big 20 foot HD screen in the Video Venue. Wow! One little ethernet cable that was just a tiny bit dislodged and that was it.
Crazy though, many times it is just a little tweak and all is fixed. All can seem completely out of wack. We can be doing everything in our power to right the wrong ... to fix the problem. It can be frustrating and it can completely alter how things are supposed to work and displace all normality. When we shut up and listen, God can show us one little thing and when we plug it in to our lives, Blamm-O! Things start turning around immediately. One little thing. Isn't it funny how it is always the little things that, in the end, make the biggest differences. The apology, the right decision when no one is looking, the extra time in the word or just listening to God, the cutting off, keeping the emotions in check, the love given, the kind word, you know what I am saying. It is the little things that shape our lives and those around us.

So true...it's the little things that can make such a big difference...sometimes we allow those little things to slow us down, discourage us, hold us back from blessing, lose sight of our purpose. And when we really look...really look w/ right eyes we see how little those things are & how big our God is!
And I like how you related this also to the things we do that may seem small, but impact others...like the kind word. It only takes one kind thing to win someone to Christ & one cruel thing to turn them a way. May we never discredit the small things we do that are positive & may we always remember everything we do impacts someone else.
We should always be tweaking & fixing ourselves. Aligning ourselves w/ the word of God...the truth. One little tweak can make All the difference!!!
Living for His Purpose...for now His Purpose is My Purpose.
