A small thing?

Afterward, David’s conscience bothered him because he had cut off the corner of Saul’s robe. (1 Samuel 24:5)

It’s amazing to me how bothered David’s conscience was by cutting off the corner of Saul’s robe.

It was such a small thing considering that he could have killed Saul instead.

But even that small thing bothered David.

And it made me wonder: do I respond the same way when my conscience bothers me about “small things.”

It’s easy for me to make excuses because they are so “small.”

But to be a man after God’s own heart means pleasing him in the small things as well as the big.

To give him reign over every small corner of my life, holding nothing back.

That’s my prayer today.

Lord, let your kingdom come, your will be done in every area of my life as it is in heaven.
