Small Axe

2024-07-20

So, I love the music of Bob Marley - most of his songs. One of them is called 'Small Axe' and actually uses the first part Proverbs 26:27 in the song. 'Whosoever diggeth a pit shall fall in it…'.

So, I love the music of Bob Marley - most of his songs. One of them is called 'Small Axe' and actually uses the first part Proverbs 26:27 in the song. 'Whosoever diggeth a pit shall fall in it…'.

I cannot recall why this was on my mind the other day, but the concept of a small axe is huge. A small axe can fell a big tree.

Yes, It will take a long time, but, it will happen once the person swinging the axe continues and does not stop until the tree falls. In fact after a certain point, the axe does not have to do any more work. The wind and gravity will take over.

So don't believe that the tree is too big. The boulder to big, the mountain to huge. We just need to keep doing the things we know we should do and the tree will fall.

The way I see it, it isn't about the axe or the man who swings it, but God who gives man the strength to keep swinging that eventually brings the tree down.
