Now….. Do you realize…..
How Insignificant We Are? Not even a dot

When I consider your heavens,the work of your fingers,the moon and the stars,Which you have set in place,
What is man that you are mindful of
him?the son of man that you care for him? Psalm 8: 3-

Are there in our church, community, home that
We do not see
We do not hear
We do not notice
those who feel unnoticed,
unheard, unloved, unknown
irrelevant, insignificant?
Or we ourselves feel this way? How often have you felt such feelings?
At the job, in relationships, at school, in the church – we all are searching for meaning in life.

God loves us so much that the very Sovereign of the Universe staged a daring rescue, arriving in person to save us from sin, death and the power of Satan.
And God did it with boldness and dramatic revelation about the nature of the Divine Heart. . . . in this story everyone is valuable, relevant, important, included.
Greatest Rescue Story

Birth Home
Stables were shades for animals. And where there are animals there is plenty of manure.
Old manure and fresh manure. . . here, there and everywhere.

Birth Crib
A manger is a feed trough found in a stable. In Bible times mangers were made from clay mixed with straw or from stones held together with mud; sometimes they were carved in natural outcroppings of rock.

And an angel of the Lord appeared to them, and the glory of the Lord

"Be not afraid; for behold, I bring you good news

Every person needs to know and
discover the great things that God has designed and make
them for. You have a
wonderful purpose, created for great
things
![Page 20: The Principle Of Christ's Birth](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051313/5494926dac7959482e8b4b84/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Everyone starts at conception, at the bottom. Everything else starts small. Great things won’t ever come easy or quickly but it emerges over a life time of discipline and excellence.
![Page 21: The Principle Of Christ's Birth](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051313/5494926dac7959482e8b4b84/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
How about in our daily lives, are there insignificant, irrelevant things or activities?
You see, these seemingly insignificant things God takes notice of and will reward our life proportionately.
If we are not faithful in fulfilling the small details of our life God cannot entrust us the great things He has for us.
![Page 22: The Principle Of Christ's Birth](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051313/5494926dac7959482e8b4b84/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Principle of Christ’s Birth:
All things great in God
begins in the small, insignificant things
of daily life.
Everything big, everything great and
everything important to God begins by the discipline of faithfulness in small things.

Let us offer our lives to
as a gift consecrated to His eternal purpose
and destiny pursuing the discipline of faithfulness in small things,
those seemingly insignificant things in daily activities.

Most believers will miss great destiny because they put little value on small things that God has put into their lives.
![Page 25: The Principle Of Christ's Birth](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051313/5494926dac7959482e8b4b84/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Many of us as believers in Christ are living life below the privilege we have as Christians. We come to church and are:
Content to be anonymous and unnoticed
We live our lives without victory or joy.
We do not anticipate the miracle of Christ’s presence in our worship services; in our lives.
We rarely have the courage of our convictions to share the story of the Nativity (the “real” story) with others
![Page 26: The Principle Of Christ's Birth](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051313/5494926dac7959482e8b4b84/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
We were born to be royalty; we were conceived in greatness;
we were made for “greater” things.
![Page 27: The Principle Of Christ's Birth](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022051313/5494926dac7959482e8b4b84/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
The greatest meaning of the Nativity Story is that anyone, even a common carpenter or a peasant girl or a pedestrian shepherd can be part of the greatest story every told.

Begin life with the discipline of faithfulness in small steps - DAILY!.
