Reverend Dr. Dan C. Cummins
Heavenly Father, Creator of Heaven and Earth, Redeemer and Sustainer of Life, this season of Hanukkah and Christmas may we never forget: "Little is much when God is in it."
A little oil in the Temple Menorah should not have lasted 8 days, but it did. A widow's small jars of oil and flour should not have lasted almost 3 years, but they did. They did because You, Father, were in it, in the Menorah, in the jars.
The little town of Bethlehem was not supposed to bring forth a King, but it did. A young virgin could not give birth to the Son of God, but she did. They did because You, Father, were in it, in a village, in a virgin.
Father, when we feel so little, remind us again that we can do the impossible when God is in it, when God is in us.
In Jesus' name, Amen.
