He will bless them that fear the
Lord, both small and great. (Psalm 115:13)
This is a word of cheer to those who are of humble
station and mean estate. Our God has a very gracious consideration for those of
small property, small talent, small influence, small weight. God careth for the
small things in creation and even regards sparrows in their lighting upon the
ground. Nothing is small to God, for He makes use of insignificant agents for
the accomplishment of His purposes. Let the least among men seek of God a
blessing upon his littleness, and he shall find his contracted sphere to be a
happy one.
Among those who fear the Lord there are little and great.
Some are babes, and others are giants. But these are all blessed. Little faith
is blessed faith. Trembling hope is blessed hope. Every grace of the Holy
Spirit, even though it be only in the bud, bears a blessing within it.
Moreover, the Lord Jesus bought both the small and the great with the same
precious blood, and He has engaged to preserve the lambs as well as the
full-grown sheep. No mother overlooks her child because it is little; nay, the
smaller it is, the more tenderly does she nurse it. If there be any preference
with the Lord, He does not arrange them as "great and small" but as
"small and great."
