Sing praises to the LORD, O you his faithful ones, and give thanks to his holy name.
(Psalm 30.4 NRSV)

Perhaps you know a story about Benjamin Franklin. One day he received a gift of a whisk broom from India. He noticed a few seeds fastened to the wisps of the broom. Franklin planted them. When the first crop came up he distributed the seeds among his friends and neighbors. Their crops flourished. In this way Franklin was responsible for introducing broom corn into the American colonies, and starting the American broom manufacturing industry. From our tiny efforts sometimes come great rewards.

The important thing is to be faithful.


Lord Jesus, help me to be faithful. Amen.
