“If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way.” – Napoleon Hill
Edward Lorenz is credited with discovering what has become known as the “Butterfly Effect.” He was running a computer program that predicted the weather, when he rounded a number, deleting the thousandths part of a decimal. After the program produced it’s results, he was astounded by the difference it made in the calculations. He published a paper about his findings, demonstrating how a very small change in initial conditions can produce a radical change in results. The title of one of his academic works is, “Can the Flap of a Butterfly’s Wing in Brazil Set Off a Tornado in Texas?”
A small act of faithfulness today can have a huge impact on the future, far beyond what we can anticipate, producing results we may never fully comprehend. But, it’s not necessary for us to know the ultimate result of these seemingly insignificant actions. Our task is simply to be faithful, even in the small things. Let God take care of the rest.
