December 23 – Small but Mighty

1
00:00:02,440 –> 00:00:05,800
Welcome to Bible Chat, where we
have devotional conversations

2
00:00:06,120 –> 00:00:11,120
rooted in Scripture and relevant
for today, December 23rd.

3
00:00:11,480 –> 00:00:14,280
Small but mighty.
Have you ever felt small?

4
00:00:14,560 –> 00:00:17,000
Like you don’t have the
personality, platform, or

5
00:00:17,000 –> 00:00:19,880
confidence to matter?
Like your voice gets drowned out

6
00:00:19,880 –> 00:00:23,920
and your life feels ordinary.
Proverbs chapter 30 says 4

7
00:00:23,920 –> 00:00:26,680
things on earth are small, but
they are exceedingly wise.

8
00:00:27,160 –> 00:00:30,560
And it points to ants tiny, not
strong, but smart enough to

9
00:00:30,560 –> 00:00:33,600
prepare ahead of time.
That’s such a picture of how God

10
00:00:33,600 –> 00:00:35,920
works.
Small doesn’t mean useless.

11
00:00:36,240 –> 00:00:39,120
Small doesn’t mean weak.
Small can be wise.

12
00:00:39,520 –> 00:00:43,320
Then Psalm 147 flips our whole
definition of impressive.

13
00:00:44,000 –> 00:00:46,880
It says God doesn’t delight in
the strength of a horse or the

14
00:00:46,880 –> 00:00:49,320
legs of a man.
He takes pleasure in those who

15
00:00:49,320 –> 00:00:51,480
fear him and hope in his
steadfast love.

16
00:00:51,880 –> 00:00:54,320
God isn’t scanning your life for
how tough you look or how

17
00:00:54,320 –> 00:00:56,520
popular you are.
He’s looking at your heart.

18
00:00:56,920 –> 00:00:58,800
Do you trust him?
Do you hope in his love?

19
00:00:59,240 –> 00:01:02,680
And Luke chapter 1 gives us Mary
Young, overlooked, not famous,

20
00:01:02,680 –> 00:01:05,360
not powerful.
Yet she says, For he who is

21
00:01:05,360 –> 00:01:08,320
mighty has done great things for
me, and holy is his name.

22
00:01:08,920 –> 00:01:11,880
Mary’s life proves that God
loves using people the world

23
00:01:11,880 –> 00:01:13,920
would ignore.
She didn’t become part of the

24
00:01:13,920 –> 00:01:17,320
story because she had status.
She became part of the story

25
00:01:17,320 –> 00:01:20,400
because she was willing.
So if you feel small, here’s

26
00:01:20,400 –> 00:01:22,400
your encouragement.
God sees you.

27
00:01:22,840 –> 00:01:25,680
He’s not waiting for you to
become big enough to be useful.

28
00:01:26,000 –> 00:01:28,720
He’s inviting you to be faithful
where you are, wise in the

29
00:01:28,720 –> 00:01:32,000
little things, steady in
obedience, hopeful in His love.

30
00:01:32,480 –> 00:01:34,240
You can shine without being
loud.

31
00:01:34,640 –> 00:01:36,480
You can lead without being
famous.

32
00:01:36,800 –> 00:01:39,000
You can make a difference
through small, consistent

33
00:01:39,000 –> 00:01:42,400
choices that honor God.
Like an Ant preparing in summer.

34
00:01:42,520 –> 00:01:45,120
Like Mary saying yes.
Like a heart that hopes in the

35
00:01:45,120 –> 00:01:48,840
Lord, let’s pray.
Heavenly Father, thank you for

36
00:01:48,840 –> 00:01:51,240
seeing me when I feel small or
overlooked.

37
00:01:51,800 –> 00:01:55,120
Give me wisdom like the small
creatures in Proverbs and help

38
00:01:55,120 –> 00:01:56,800
me be faithful in the little
things.

39
00:01:57,120 –> 00:02:00,160
Teach me to stop chasing what
impresses people and start

40
00:02:00,160 –> 00:02:01,640
living in a way that pleases
you.

41
00:02:02,240 –> 00:02:05,400
Like Mary, help me say yes to
you, trusting that the Mighty

42
00:02:05,400 –> 00:02:07,640
One can do great things through
my willing heart.

43
00:02:08,199 –> 00:02:12,160
In Jesus name, Amen.
Imagine stepping into a new year

44
00:02:12,200 –> 00:02:15,320

strength in your soul, and the

45
00:02:15,320 –> 00:02:18,160
supernatural backing of heaven
behind every step you take.

46
00:02:18,560 –> 00:02:20,840

Now I invite you to spend time

68
00:03:18,360 –> 00:03:20,880
with God in today’s three-year
Bible reading plan.

69
00:03:22,400 –> 00:03:27,520
Proverbs 3021 to 28 World
English Bible for three things.

70
00:03:27,520 –> 00:03:31,240
The earth trembles, and under 4.
It can’t bear up for a servant

71
00:03:31,240 –> 00:03:34,480
when he is king, a fool when he
is filled with food, for an

72
00:03:34,480 –> 00:03:37,360
unloved woman when she is
married, and a servant who is

73
00:03:37,360 –> 00:03:39,920
heir to her mistress.
There are four things which are

74
00:03:39,920 –> 00:03:42,400
little on the earth, but they
are exceedingly wise.

75
00:03:42,880 –> 00:03:45,800
The ants are not a strong
people, yet they provide their

76
00:03:45,800 –> 00:03:48,640
food in the summer.
The hyraxes are but a feeble

77
00:03:48,640 –> 00:03:51,080
folk, yet make they their houses
in the rocks.

78
00:03:51,520 –> 00:03:54,440
The locusts have no king, yet
they advance in ranks.

79
00:03:54,840 –> 00:03:57,560
You can catch a lizard with your
hands, yet it is in King’s

80
00:03:57,560 –> 00:04:02,120
palaces.
Psalm 147 World English Bible

81
00:04:02,520 –> 00:04:05,800
Praise Yah for it is good to
sing praises to our God, for it

82
00:04:05,800 –> 00:04:07,560
is pleasant and fitting to
praise Him.

83
00:04:08,120 –> 00:04:11,720
Yahweh builds up Jerusalem.
He gathers together the outcasts

84
00:04:11,720 –> 00:04:14,440
of Israel.
He heals the broken in heart and

85
00:04:14,440 –> 00:04:16,880
binds up their wounds.
He counts the number of the

86
00:04:16,880 –> 00:04:18,720
stars.
He calls them all by their

87
00:04:18,720 –> 00:04:21,279
names.
Great is our Lord and mighty in

88
00:04:21,279 –> 00:04:23,680
power.
His understanding is infinite.

89
00:04:23,920 –> 00:04:26,920
Yahweh upholds the humble.
He brings the wicked down to the

90
00:04:26,920 –> 00:04:28,880
ground.
Sing to Yahweh with

91
00:04:28,880 –> 00:04:32,640
Thanksgiving, Sing praises on
the harp to our God, who covers

92
00:04:32,640 –> 00:04:35,880
the sky with clouds, who
prepares rain for the earth, who

93
00:04:35,880 –> 00:04:37,680
makes grass grow on the
mountains.

94
00:04:38,280 –> 00:04:40,760
He provides food for the
livestock and for the young

95
00:04:40,760 –> 00:04:43,200
Ravens when they call.
He doesn’t delight in the

96
00:04:43,200 –> 00:04:45,920
strength of the horse.
He takes no pleasure in the legs

97
00:04:45,920 –> 00:04:48,320
of a man.
Yahweh takes pleasure in those

98
00:04:48,320 –> 00:04:51,120
who fear him, in those who hope
in his loving kindness.

99
00:04:51,680 –> 00:04:55,400
Praise Yahweh, Jerusalem, praise
your God Zion, for He has

100
00:04:55,400 –> 00:04:57,000
strengthened the bars of your
gates.

101
00:04:57,400 –> 00:04:59,040
He has blessed your children
within you.

102
00:04:59,440 –> 00:05:02,520
He makes peace in your borders.
He fills you with the finest of

103
00:05:02,520 –> 00:05:04,800
the wheat.
He sends out His commandment to

104
00:05:04,800 –> 00:05:07,440
the earth.
His word runs very swiftly.

105
00:05:07,760 –> 00:05:10,880
He gives snow like wool and
scatters frost like ashes.

106
00:05:11,320 –> 00:05:14,560
He hurls down his hail like
pebbles who can stand before his

107
00:05:14,560 –> 00:05:16,920
cold.
He sends out His word and melts

108
00:05:16,920 –> 00:05:19,320
them.
He causes his wind to blow and

109
00:05:19,320 –> 00:05:22,400
the waters flow.
He shows his word to Jacob, his

110
00:05:22,400 –> 00:05:24,600
statutes, and his ordinances to
Israel.

111
00:05:25,040 –> 00:05:27,000
He has not done this for just
any nation.

112
00:05:27,360 –> 00:05:31,080
They don’t know His ordinances.
Praise Yah, Luke one world

113
00:05:31,080 –> 00:05:34,520
English Bible since many have
undertaken to set in order a

114
00:05:34,520 –> 00:05:36,680
narrative concerning those
matters which have been

115
00:05:36,680 –> 00:05:39,840
fulfilled among us, even as
those who from the beginning

116
00:05:39,840 –> 00:05:42,560
were eyewitnesses and servants
of the Word delivered them to

117
00:05:42,560 –> 00:05:44,800
us.
It seemed good to me also,

118
00:05:45,080 –> 00:05:47,680
having traced the course of all
things accurately from the

119
00:05:47,680 –> 00:05:52,080
first, to write to you in order,
most excellent Theophyllus, that

120
00:05:52,080 –> 00:05:54,880
you might know the certainty
concerning the things in which

121
00:05:54,880 –> 00:05:57,520
you were instructed.
There was in the days of Herod,

122
00:05:57,680 –> 00:06:00,960
the king of Judea, a certain
priest named Zacharias of the

123
00:06:00,960 –> 00:06:04,280
priestly division of Abuja.
He had a wife of the daughters

124
00:06:04,280 –> 00:06:06,200
of Aaron, and her name was
Elizabeth.

125
00:06:06,560 –> 00:06:10,160
They were both righteous before
God, walking blamelessly in all

126
00:06:10,160 –> 00:06:13,520
the commandments and ordinances
of the Lord, but they had no

127
00:06:13,520 –> 00:06:16,960
child, because Elizabeth was
barren, and they both were well

128
00:06:16,960 –> 00:06:20,240
advanced in years.
Now while he executed the priest

129
00:06:20,240 –> 00:06:23,840
office before God in the order
of his division, according to

130
00:06:23,840 –> 00:06:27,640
the custom of the priest office,
his lot was to enter into the

131
00:06:27,640 –> 00:06:29,760
temple of the Lord and burn
incense.

132
00:06:30,080 –> 00:06:32,720
The whole multitude of the
people were praying outside.

133
00:06:32,720 –> 00:06:35,880
At the hour of incense.
An Angel of the Lord appeared to

134
00:06:35,880 –> 00:06:39,000
him, standing on the right side
of the altar of incense.

135
00:06:39,520 –> 00:06:43,160
Zacarias was troubled when he
saw him, and fear fell upon him.

136
00:06:43,520 –> 00:06:47,080
But the Angel said to him, Don’t
be afraid, Zacarias, because

137
00:06:47,080 –> 00:06:50,480
your request has been heard.
Your wife Elizabeth will bear

138
00:06:50,480 –> 00:06:52,720
you a son, and you shall call
his name John.

139
00:06:53,240 –> 00:06:56,200
You will have joy and gladness,
and many will rejoice at his

140
00:06:56,200 –> 00:06:59,400
birth, for he will be great in
the sight of the Lord, and he

141
00:06:59,400 –> 00:07:01,480
will drink no wine nor strong
drink.

142
00:07:02,000 –> 00:07:05,200
He will be filled with the Holy
Spirit even from his mother’s

143
00:07:05,200 –> 00:07:06,960
womb.
He will turn many of the

144
00:07:06,960 –> 00:07:09,080
children of Israel to the Lord
their God.

145
00:07:09,440 –> 00:07:12,680
He will go before him in the
spirit and power of Elijah to

146
00:07:12,680 –> 00:07:15,280
turn the hearts of the fathers
to the children and the

147
00:07:15,280 –> 00:07:18,480
disobedient to the wisdom of the
just to prepare a people

148
00:07:18,480 –> 00:07:22,320
prepared for the Lord.
Zacarias said to the Angel, How

149
00:07:22,320 –> 00:07:25,960
can I be sure of this, for I am
an old man and my wife is well

150
00:07:25,960 –> 00:07:29,520
advanced in years.
The Angel answered him, I am

151
00:07:29,520 –> 00:07:31,800
Gabriel who stands in the
presence of God.

152
00:07:32,280 –> 00:07:35,000
I was sent to speak to you and
to bring you this good news.

153
00:07:35,320 –> 00:07:38,600
Behold, you will be silent and
not able to speak until the day

154
00:07:38,600 –> 00:07:41,480
that these things will happen,
because you didn’t believe my

155
00:07:41,480 –> 00:07:44,360
words which will be fulfilled in
their proper time.

156
00:07:45,120 –> 00:07:47,960
The people were waiting for
Zacarias, and they marvelled

157
00:07:47,960 –> 00:07:50,880
that he delayed in the temple.
When he came out, he could not

158
00:07:50,880 –> 00:07:53,440
speak to them.
They perceived that he had seen

159
00:07:53,440 –> 00:07:56,480
a vision in the temple.
He continued making signs to

160
00:07:56,480 –> 00:07:59,400
them and remained mute.
When the days of his service

161
00:07:59,400 –> 00:08:01,600
were fulfilled, he departed to
his house.

162
00:08:02,000 –> 00:08:05,200
After these days Elizabeth his
wife conceived, and she hid

163
00:08:05,200 –> 00:08:08,640
herself five months, saying,
Thus has the Lord done to me in

164
00:08:08,640 –> 00:08:11,400
the days in which he looked at
me, to take away my reproach

165
00:08:11,400 –> 00:08:14,320
among men.
Now in the sixth month, the

166
00:08:14,360 –> 00:08:17,440
Angel Gabriel was sent from God
to a city of Galilee named

167
00:08:17,440 –> 00:08:20,840
Nazareth, to a virgin pledge, to
be married to a man whose name

168
00:08:20,840 –> 00:08:24,360
was Joseph of David’s house.
The virgin’s name was Mary.

169
00:08:24,800 –> 00:08:27,840
Having come in, the Angel said
to her, Rejoice, you highly

170
00:08:27,840 –> 00:08:31,040
favored one, the Lord is with
you, Blessed are you among

171
00:08:31,040 –> 00:08:33,480
women.
But when she saw him, she was

172
00:08:33,480 –> 00:08:36,320
greatly troubled at the saying,
and considered what kind of

173
00:08:36,320 –> 00:08:40,159
salutation this might be.
The Angel said to her, Don’t be

174
00:08:40,159 –> 00:08:42,559
afraid, Mary, for you have found
favor with God.

175
00:08:42,919 –> 00:08:45,480
Behold, you will conceive in
your womb and give birth to a

176
00:08:45,480 –> 00:08:49,560
son, and shall name him Jesus.
He will be great and will be

177
00:08:49,560 –> 00:08:52,880
called the Son of the Most High.
The Lord God will give him the

178
00:08:52,880 –> 00:08:55,800
throne of his father David, and
he will reign over the House of

179
00:08:55,800 –> 00:08:58,240
Jacob Forever.
There will be no end to his

180
00:08:58,240 –> 00:09:00,560
Kingdom.
Mary said to the Angel.

181
00:09:00,760 –> 00:09:03,040
How can this be seeing I am a
virgin?

182
00:09:03,400 –> 00:09:06,320
The Angel answered her.
The Holy Spirit will come on

183
00:09:06,320 –> 00:09:09,000
you, and the power of the Most
High will over shadow you.

184
00:09:09,360 –> 00:09:12,600
Therefore also the Holy One who
is born from you will be called

185
00:09:12,600 –> 00:09:16,120
the Son of God.
Behold, Elizabeth, your relative

186
00:09:16,120 –> 00:09:20,160
also has conceived a son in her
old age, and this is the 6th

187
00:09:20,160 –> 00:09:21,880
month with her who is called
Baron.

188
00:09:22,200 –> 00:09:24,600
For nothing spoken by God is
impossible.

189
00:09:25,040 –> 00:09:28,720
Mary said, Behold the servant of
the Lord, let it be done to me

190
00:09:28,720 –> 00:09:31,720
according to your word.
Then the Angel departed from

191
00:09:31,720 –> 00:09:34,160
her.
Mary arose in those days and

192
00:09:34,160 –> 00:09:37,880
went into the Hill Country with
haste into a city of Judah and

193
00:09:37,880 –> 00:09:40,640
entered into the House of
Zacarias and greeted Elizabeth.

194
00:09:41,240 –> 00:09:44,200
When Elizabeth heard Mary’s
greeting, the baby leaped in her

195
00:09:44,200 –> 00:09:47,200
womb and Elizabeth was filled
with the Holy Spirit.

196
00:09:47,560 –> 00:09:51,000
She called out with a loud voice
and said, Blessed are you among

197
00:09:51,000 –> 00:09:53,200
women, and blessed is the fruit
of your womb.

198
00:09:53,760 –> 00:09:56,640
Why am I so favored that the
mother of my Lord should come to

199
00:09:56,640 –> 00:09:58,680
me?
For behold, when the voice of

200
00:09:58,680 –> 00:10:01,760
your greeting came into my ears,
the baby leaped in my womb for

201
00:10:01,760 –> 00:10:04,520
joy.
Blessed is she who believed, for

202
00:10:04,520 –> 00:10:06,480
there will be a fulfillment of
the things which have been

203
00:10:06,480 –> 00:10:10,760
spoken to her from the Lord.
Mary said, My soul magnifies the

204
00:10:10,760 –> 00:10:13,480
Lord.
My spirit has rejoiced in God my

205
00:10:13,480 –> 00:10:16,560
Savior, for he has looked at the
humble state of His servant.

206
00:10:17,080 –> 00:10:20,320
For behold, from now on all
generations will call me

207
00:10:20,320 –> 00:10:23,760
blessed, for he who is mighty
has done great things for me.

208
00:10:24,040 –> 00:10:27,520
Holy is His name.
His mercy is for generations and

209
00:10:27,520 –> 00:10:29,320
generations on those who fear
Him.

210
00:10:29,800 –> 00:10:31,480
He has shown strength with His
arm.

211
00:10:31,840 –> 00:10:34,600
He has scattered the proud in
the imagination of their hearts.

212
00:10:34,920 –> 00:10:38,200
He has put down Princess from
their Thrones and has exalted

213
00:10:38,200 –> 00:10:40,360
the lowly.
He has filled the hungry with

214
00:10:40,360 –> 00:10:43,120
good things.
He has sent the rich away empty.

215
00:10:43,440 –> 00:10:46,720
He has given help to Israel his
servant, that he might remember

216
00:10:46,720 –> 00:10:49,680
mercy as he spoke to our
fathers, to Abraham, and his

217
00:10:49,680 –> 00:10:52,920
offspring forever.
Mary stayed with her about 3

218
00:10:52,920 –> 00:10:54,920
months and then returned to her
house.

219
00:10:55,240 –> 00:10:57,960
Now the time that Elizabeth
should give birth was fulfilled,

220
00:10:58,320 –> 00:11:01,640
and she gave birth to a son.
Her neighbors and her relatives

221
00:11:01,640 –> 00:11:04,280
heard that the Lord had
magnified His mercy toward her

222
00:11:04,520 –> 00:11:07,960
and they rejoiced with her.
On the 8th day they came to

223
00:11:07,960 –> 00:11:11,360
circumcise the child, and they
would have called him Zacarias

224
00:11:11,440 –> 00:11:15,040
after the name of his father.
His mother answered, not so, but

225
00:11:15,040 –> 00:11:18,200
he will be called John.
They said to her, There is no

226
00:11:18,200 –> 00:11:20,600
one among your relatives who is
called by this name.

227
00:11:21,240 –> 00:11:23,920
They made signs to his father
what he would have him called.

228
00:11:24,240 –> 00:11:27,440
He asked for a writing tablet
and wrote His name is John.

229
00:11:27,880 –> 00:11:30,800
They all marvelled.
His mouth was opened immediately

230
00:11:30,800 –> 00:11:33,600
and his tongue freed, and he
spoke, blessing God.

231
00:11:34,200 –> 00:11:36,640
Fear came on all who lived
around them, and all these

232
00:11:36,640 –> 00:11:39,080
sayings were talked about
throughout all the Hill Country

233
00:11:39,080 –> 00:11:41,240
of Judea.
All who heard them laid them up

234
00:11:41,240 –> 00:11:44,240
in their heart, saying, what
then will this child be?

235
00:11:44,560 –> 00:11:46,120
The hand of the Lord was with
him.

236
00:11:46,520 –> 00:11:49,880
His father Zacarias was filled
with the Holy Spirit and

237
00:11:49,880 –> 00:11:53,520
prophesied, saying, Blessed be
the Lord, the God of Israel.

238
00:11:53,760 –> 00:11:57,320
For he has visited and redeemed
his people and has raised up a

239
00:11:57,320 –> 00:12:00,040
horn of salvation for us in the
House of his servant David.

240
00:12:00,320 –> 00:12:03,360
As he spoke by the mouth of his
holy prophets who have been from

241
00:12:03,360 –> 00:12:06,920
of old salvation from our
enemies and from the hand of all

242
00:12:06,920 –> 00:12:09,160
who hate us.
To show mercy toward our

243
00:12:09,160 –> 00:12:12,760
fathers, To remember His holy
covenant, the oath which He

244
00:12:12,760 –> 00:12:16,200
swore to Abraham, our Father, to
grant to us that we, being

245
00:12:16,200 –> 00:12:19,120
delivered out of the hand of our
enemies, should serve Him

246
00:12:19,120 –> 00:12:22,960
without fear, in holiness and
righteousness before Him all the

247
00:12:22,960 –> 00:12:25,840
days of our life.
And you, child, will be called a

248
00:12:25,840 –> 00:12:29,040
prophet of the Most High, for
you will go before the face of

249
00:12:29,040 –> 00:12:32,560
the Lord to prepare His ways to
give knowledge of salvation to

250
00:12:32,560 –> 00:12:35,680
His people by the remission of
their sins, because of the

251
00:12:35,680 –> 00:12:39,040
tender mercy of our God, by
which the dawn from on high will

252
00:12:39,040 –> 00:12:42,680
visit us to shine on those who
sit in darkness and the shadow

253
00:12:42,680 –> 00:12:44,760
of death.
To guide our feet into the way

254
00:12:44,760 –> 00:12:47,160
of peace.
The child was growing and

255
00:12:47,160 –> 00:12:50,720
becoming strong in spirit and
was in the desert until the day

256
00:12:50,720 –> 00:12:52,520
of his public appearance to
Israel.

257
00:12:54,400 –> 00:12:57,680
