Matthew 10.42

“And if anyone gives even a cup of cold water to one of those little ones who is my disciple, truly I tell you, that person will certainly not lose their reward.” (Matthew 10.42, NIV)

I love this passage because it reminds me that our service to God is not always the big, most noticed events. At times, it is simply the small things we do for others that matter the most.

Thought Questions:

At the end of your life what sort of things would like to be able to say you have done for God? How many of these things are big things? How many of them small, yet meaningful ones? Why would you say these things are important to you?

How comforting is it to you to know the things you do, big-to-small, are noticed by God?

How have you given a cup of cold water to someone today?
