THE GREATNESS OF <strong>LITTLE</strong> <strong>THINGS</strong> Introduction By L.R. Meyer History is full of the overwhelming importance of little things. They are the hinges upon which turn doors of opportunity and destiny. Turning points in the lives of men and nations are generally the ordinary everyday and commonplace events and things of life. It was a little thing that detained the young Lincoln a minute on the streets of New Orleans where he saw a slave market. "If I ever get a chance to hit that thing, I'll hit it hard," he said--and there was a great war and four million human beings were emancipated. It was a little moment--the one in which Luther arose from his knees, after toiling painfully up the sacred stairway in Rome, saying, "The just shall live by faith!" But from that moment he walked down to a soulenslaved people, and the Reformation began. A little child was born and laid in a manger, in a little Judean town--and the whole world swung toward the light. It is God's plan to use little things, in the creation of greatness. 1.
