What does the Bible say about small things in God's plan?
Answered in 1 source
Small things are significant in God's economy, often used to display His power and grace.
The Bible speaks extensively about the significance of small things in God's plan. In Zechariah 4, it highlights how God's ways are often to work through what the world deems as small or insignificant. This reflects God's sovereignty and purpose in choosing the foolish and weak things of the world to confound the wise, as expressed in 1 Corinthians 1:25-28. God's dealings with small things remind us that His power is made perfect in our weakness (2 Corinthians 12:9), and that we should not despise the day of small things. God’s selection of a remnant, like the 300 men in Gideon’s army, illustrates how He can achieve great victories with seemingly inadequate resources, reminding us that true strength lies not in our numbers, but in Him.
