God, as you speak, i want to listen.....

Last night at choir practice at church we ended our time together with prayer........as our worship pastor began to end his prayer, he was referring to our worship songs and no matter how small, or trivial, or "traditional" they may sound, they are nothing if God is not present. "Little is Much When God is in it" popped into my head. I haven't heard that song in a long long while. I remember singing it, possibly in a trio or ensemble of some sort, but i've always loved that song. At that moment it came into my head, all I could remember was the chorus and I started asking around in the choir if people remembered that song. Only a select few remembered it or had heard it, so I was on a mission to remember the verses. All I could recall was labor not....there is a crown and you can win it? Anyway, I was so blessed as I started my google search for the words and youtube search for any really good renditions of it. Wow! I wanted to share the words with you and invite you to let God quench your soul as He has mine today:

Little Is Much When God Is In It

In the Harvest field now ripened, there is work for all to do.
Hark, the Master's voice is calling, to the harvest, calling you

And does the place you're called to labor seem so small and little known?
It is great if our God is in it, for He will not forsake his own.

Little is much when God is in it, labor not for wealth or fame.
There's a crown and you can win it, if you go in Jesus' name!

And when the conflict here has ended, and our race on earth is run.
He will say if you've been faithful, WELCOME HOME, MY CHILD WELL DONE!



As our economy seems so crazy right now and this month seems to be one of the hardest months of the year for people, I am reminded that LITTLE is MUCH when God is in it. In this time where people are "losing" many things from money, to homes, to pensions, it's an encouragement to me that when the conflict here has ended and our race on earth is run, if you and I have been faithful, He will say, "Welcome Home, my child well done."
Does the place where you are at seem so small and little known by those around you?...it is Great if God is in it, for He will not forsake his own!
Thankful for God's Peace, as I know "I need thee every hour,"

p.s.....from my daughters mouth today, I wanted to share with you her words; "Mom, my heart is like Heaven, it looks like Heaven because that is where God lives!"......oh amen, my precious Joy!...very well said.
