Lesson 6. Engine
Every guy who goes looking for a vehicle wants to look under the hood. He wants to see if the engine looks clean or if it is covered with oil. But more importantly he wants to know how big it is. How many cylinders are there? What is the cubic inch measurement of the engine? What is the horsepower? Even if he can’t afford to drive a muscle car or a 350 engine, he still likes to dream. He may settle for a four-cylinder, hybrid that sips gasoline like a tea connoisseur at a taste test. In the end the choice is made between power and miles per gallon.
In life we all like to dream big. We all would like to accomplish some big thing and leave a big footprint behind us on the world’s stage. Some have done that—Martin Luther, Winston Churchill, Abraham Lincoln, Billy Graham to name a few. But most of us play minor parts on the stage of life. Or do we? What may appear to the world to be a minor part, may be a critical part of God’s great plan. Think for a moment of Martin Luther’s teacher and Abraham Lincoln’s mother, and the person who led Billy Graham to faith in Christ. You probably don’t know their names, yet their parts were invaluable. In the service of the Lord, size does not matter. Doing God’s will is all that counts.
John 3:30
He must increase, but I must decrease.
