small and simple
Small and simple
Alma 37:6
2 kings 5:2-3
A "little maid" / young girl was taken captive and served the wife of naaman who was a hot shot in the army. He came down with leprosy. This young girl, a slave, testified that the prophet could heal naaman.
"We often focus on the servants who convinced Naaman to bathe in the river Jordan, as the prophet Elisha directed, but Naaman would not have even been at Elisha’s door without “a little maid.” You may be young or feel of no importance, but you can be as salt in your family, at school, and in your community.
Hearts can be changed and lives blessed as we offer a pinch of salt, a spoonful of leaven, and a ray of light." - Lessons at the Well By Susan H. Porter, April 2022
Matt 5:13 - salt
Matt 5:14 - light
Matt 13:33 - leaven
James 3:5 - this is actually an example of how a small thing can corrupt. Taken alone, I like the imagery of words setting a huge fire. It reminds me of missionary work and setting hearts on fire. Open your mouth and the Lord will fill it.
Psalm 81:10
Moses 6:32
