Insignificant: too small or unimportant to be worth consideration
We use that word to usually describe something that, in the grand scheme of things, just doesn’t matter.When we read a story, we may gloss right over a detail that seems odd or out of nowhere. Doesn’t it just grind your gears when, chapters later, you find out that detail is HUGE!! How about when we first meet a character that we write off as a nobody? Then we find out later that they come in to save the day! How did we miss that??
We don’t always see the big picture right away. It takes some time and further exploration to see the value that each detail or person has to a story. Consider that thought when you look at the greatest story ever told.
There are so many truly extraordinary people that we read about in the Bible. However, sometimes they get written off as “insignificant.” Chances are, there is someone truly extraordinary reading this right now who may not see the part they have to play in the spreading of the gospel. You may even think yourself to be “insignificant.” Consider this...
“For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand, that we should walk in them.” — Ephesians 2:10
The story of the Bible — the gospel of Jesus Christ — shows that...
you were made for something
