Little Task: Big Job
Written by Pastor Carmela E. Head
Many prized art painting masterpieces begin with one stroke of the painter’s brush. Most of the time we see the end result of many hours of combining paint using various brushes to create special hues. Defined paint strokes and visualization come into play over time to complete a wonderful work of art. With much concentration, hours and days of small increments of details are sometimes added.
Finally, we are embracing the totality of the art that has been created. But it didn’t happen instantaneously. It took meticulous attention to each stroke of the paint brush to make this achievement. The small strokes were little tasks that ended up playing a role in a big job. Although some strokes were little, they were still detailed and very necessary for the big picture.
Take for example, the vast artistic expressions and paintings on the walls of many castles and large framed paintings that we see displayed in many places, these wonderful works of art had a beginning with the little task of one stroke of the painter’s brush.
Oftentimes, we may deem a little task as menial, but, in the grand scheme of things it could play a major role in a big job.
This is encouraging to us to know that even when we may think our efforts are not adding up or amounting to much impact, it does. Just as the painter uses initial strokes of the paintbrush to create a masterpiece, the painting continues over time until completion. Each color hue and each painting effort are of great significance. Little tasks are of great importance. What is in your hands? Do you consider it to be great?
Scripture encourages us in Luke 16:10a, “If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones." (NLT)
The beginning of a small or little task has a profound impact in the Kingdom of God. Whatever the Lord places in our hands is blessed to multiply.
1 Corinthians 3:8a says, “The one who plants is just as important as the one who waters.” (CEV)
God will ultimately give the increase. This means, God will be glorified with each measure of contribution. No task is too small and insignificant. Again, little tasks are of great importance.
What is in your hands? Do you consider it to be great?
The beginning of a little task, over time with consistent effort, creates amazing groundwork for building and creating something great: The masterpiece of the Master’s plan.
