In the journey of faith and service, we often encounter moments where our aspirations clash with reality. In Little is Much we explore Sharon and Chuck's early experiences in ministry. Inspired by William Carey's call to "Attempt Great Things for God," they embarked on a mission to revitalize a dying church in Philadelphia's inner city. Despite facing daunting challenges and unforeseen obstacles, their unwavering commitment and reliance on God's providence led to unexpected transformations, both within themselves and the community they served.
Through the lens of biblical narratives like the widow's oil and the faithful example of Hattie May Wiatt, the devotional underscores the profound truth that "little is much when God is in it." Each story illuminates the power of humble obedience, demonstrating how seemingly insignificant acts of faith can yield remarkable outcomes beyond human comprehension. From the desperation of a grieving widow to the sacrificial generosity of a young girl, these accounts inspire readers to reevaluate their perspectives on greatness and embrace the transformative potential of small beginnings in the hands of a sovereign God.
