Small Acts of Faithfulness Have Eternal Impact
Small Acts of Faithfulness Have Eternal Impact
Epaphroditus was not a well-known leader or a famous preacher; he was an ordinary believer who simply showed up and served. His willingness to deliver a gift, care for Paul, and risk his own health may have seemed insignificant at the time, but God used his faithfulness to bless many. Often, we underestimate the value of small, unseen acts of obedience: serving behind the scenes, offering a listening ear, or persevering through difficulty.
In God’s kingdom, nothing done in love is wasted. The world may not notice, but God sees every act of faithfulness. Your quiet service, your perseverance in prayer, your willingness to help in small ways. These are the seeds God uses to grow His kingdom. Don’t despise the ordinary; in God’s hands, it becomes extraordinary.
Hebrews 6:10 (KJV): “For God is not unrighteous to forget your work and labour of love, which ye have shewed toward his name, in that ye have ministered to the saints, and do minister.”
Reflection: What is one “small” act of service or faithfulness you can offer today, even if no one else notices? How might God use your obedience in ways you cannot yet see?
