“He has raised up for his people a horn, the praise of all his saints………”

~Psalm 148:14a~

As we sat on the back porch this morning for prayer, we heard a beautiful songbird that had quite a loud tune. Locating him on a wire, I was amazed at how small he was. A tiny little bird with a very big voice.

It reminded me of the time we were driving in a rural area of the Philippines and heard a very loud truck horn, like a fog horn. I looked in the mirrors trying to locate where the big rig was. I was certain it was a large Semi truck trying to position himself to pass me or coming from a side road somewhere. Then I noticed that we were being passed by a little 3-wheeled motorcycle that barely showed up in the review mirror. On the small mechanism was a very small man. Once ahead of us, he honked again as though to say thanks. It was a dramatic contrast, such a large sound coming from a small thing.

When God puts even a small praise on our hearts, it’s like a horn of celebration he provides to make a very big sound to his glory. I’m going to watch for little things today that might provide reason for praise to God.

Proverbs 30:24 mentions four things on earth that are small but extremely wise: Ants, coneys, locusts, and lizards. Even small creatures are significant in their ability to reveal God’s glory. You and I may sometimes feel insignificant, but Christ in me the hope of glory is a very big tune.

“Praise our God, all you his servants, you who fear him, both small and great!”

~Proverbs 19:5b~
