In Little Things

In little things and times alone is when we tend to grow.
The way we handle little things our character will show.
What we do when we're alone and think no one will see...
These are things in which we're tested to a fine degree.

To sluff off or to weaken, or to do less than our best
Becomes the measure of our growth... it really is a test.
Little tests are good... they will stretch us to reach higher,
Drawing "finer" lines in us to which we should aspire.

Always we should welcome little tests the Lord would give.
Though they may be small, they will change the way we live.
That which seemed so litte just might later cause a fall.
Then we'll know the value of that test which seemed so small.

"For the Lord seeth not as man seeth; for man looketh on the outward appearance, but the Lord looketh on the heart."
I Samuel 16:7 KJV
