Thy Power
Small things grow big.
Morning walk through the meadow, I step over a trickling creek. No larger than a snake, it has cut a narrow channel through deep grasses.
The nearby mighty river, visible even from here, was once no larger.

Bit by bit. Lord. Your power flows even through the smallest of my daily actions. Bit by bit they grow.
This morning I draw closer to you. Let this mustard seed grow over days and years into the mountain.

Consider:
Can I consistently grow in my practice?
