Letting God Use Me by Sandra Drescher from her book Just Between God & Me.  Zondervan Publishing House – Grand Rapids, MI 1977.

A few years ago, a building near us was condemned because termites had eaten so much wood that it wasn’t safe any more. Later it was torn down because nothing could be done with it. The termites had completely destroyed it.

To think that something as small as a termite could do so much damage! When I think about the vastness of our world and universe, I feel small and insignificant; but the termites taught me a good lesson. Everything I do has some impact, and it’s up to me to determine whether it’s good or bad. If little termites can ruin a big building, I can do something far greater for good, if I’m willing to work at it.

Even if no one else sees it, God will reward fully.

May the Lord God of Israel, under whose wings you have come to take refuge, bless you for it (Ruth 2:12 LB).

Father, help me to think about what good I can do, instead of feeling small and insignificant. Amen.

What an excellent petition to make to ABBA! I am fully amen-ing it. Perhaps you are too.
