Episode 45: Mechanics of the Little Things

Many of us are familiar with Jesus' words "those who can be trusted with little can also be trusted with much." But do we believe those words enough to adopt that mentality in our faith and life? Many of our struggles are a result of being focused on big things and ignoring the little things. We want to make a big impact or fix the big problem. But Jesus clearly teaches us to place a higher value on the little things. A baseball player who is in a hitting slump does not break out of the slump by trying to hit home runs, but rather by revisiting the "mechanics" of his swing - the little things. Similarly, Christians who are in a funk, struggling with relationships, or dealing with the consequences of poor choices can experience breakthrough not by focusing on the problem, but by revising the mechanics of the little things.
