Matthew 27:57-61

Matthew 27:57-61 
English Standard Version (ESV)

  When Jesus calls us to bring everything to him, he means it.  I doubt that Joseph ever imagined the plans that God had for his newly cut tomb, but that would be the place where God would defeat death with finality and demonstrate God's sovereign power over every force of the universe.  Joseph probably felt like it was this small, simple thing that he was doing.  Maybe Joseph felt guilty for not doing more, and he felt like this small act was too little, but it was what he could do in the here and the now.
  God has something in front of you right now.  I don't know what it is, but there's a chance that you may think it's something small, something insignificant, and you're waiting on something bigger.  We can easily brush past the small stuff if we're not careful.
  Whatever is in front of you, do that, no matter how small you think it may be.  No act of service in the name of the God of the universe is too small or lost in the whirlwind -- it matters.  Our selfless love matters, even if the sacrifice doesn't feel very big.  Who knows what God might do with your small act?  You may be putting it off, whatever it may be, because you feel like other things are more important. 
  Just take the step, however small it may be.  Let God lead you through it.  There will be another step on the other side of that one.  Who knows what God can do when you put your life in God's hands?
