Today in history class we watched a video on how the Revolutionary War got started. When we got home we had to write up an answer to a question that out teacher gave us. The question was, 'The producers of America: Story of Us, named the first episode "Rebels". It is easy to understand why they would include people such as John Hancock, but why would they include the early colonists of Jamestown and Plymouth in this episode?' One of my classmates said this, "...you can't just include the main things in history, you have to include all of them even the minor things that happened." So where would we be if the "minor" things didn't happen?
It's a good question. God works in little things. His power is made great in our weakness. All the little things (and even what seems to us like "little people,"--people who live their lives without ever accomplishing something history-book-worthy) are all equally woven into the fabric of history, which is moving toward His ultimate end: the return of Christ and the new creation. Love to you. I like your thoughts.
ReplyDeleteYea, people pay no attention to the small things and they get neglected. I those Christy Miller books I was reading her friend Katie always say "That was so a God-thing" whenever she sees something that God does/did. Some of those things I didn't see until I finished the chapter. You should read them. They are REALLY good and addicting.
DeleteOh yeah...like I need another addiction! But is you pass one on to me, I'll give it a try.
