The Triumphs of the Tiny
We have been focused this month on God's great, cosmic plan. But let's take a moment today to appreciate the profound truth of God working through what is small and weak.
The entire Christmas story is a series of tiny, humble triumphs:
A tiny, overlooked village (Bethlehem).
A tiny, powerless family (Mary and Joseph).
A tiny, helpless infant (Jesus).
God chose the smallest package possible—a vulnerable baby—to deliver the greatest power the world has ever known. This is a recurring theme in God's kingdom.
Paul affirms this principle in 1 Corinthians 1:27 (KJV): "But God hath chosen the foolish things of the world to confound the wise; and God hath chosen the weak things of the world to confound the things which are mighty."
