The foxes have holes and the birds of the air have nests, but the Son of man hath not where to lay His head.” Matthew 8:2020And Jesus saith unto him, The foxes have holes, and the birds of the air have nests; but the Son of man hath not where to lay his head. (Matthew 8:20).
The well-known words were being read to a little fellow of but four years of age. His eyes filled with tears as he thought of the Saviour who loved and died for sinners not having a home or a bed, and he cried out,
“I am sure, mamma, if I had been there I would have given Him my pillow.”
He is not here now. But still if we love Him we may give Him something that He will value more than He would have valued a pillow when here. We may come to Him just as we are, accept Him as our Saviour, and then ask Him to let us know how we may serve Him.
Little Samuel served Him. Little Joash served Him. The little boy served Him who gave his barley loaves and little fish for Him to use to feed the multitude. The little girl who waited on Naaman’s wife served Him. And you may serve Him too.
First of all in your home, by obedience to your parents and kindness to brothers and sisters. Then at school and among your friends by being loving and forgiving to them. These are little things, but by and by if you serve Him in small things now, He will give you greater things to do for Him.
“His Lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy Lord.” Matthew 25:2323His lord said unto him, Well done, good and faithful servant; thou hast been faithful over a few things, I will make thee ruler over many things: enter thou into the joy of thy lord. (Matthew 25:23).
