Unknown Voices from the Past:

A man was walking down a little hill in the woods when he stepped on a little twig. The twig rolled, and he fell down. As he got up and went on his way, he thought to himself, “If that had been a big log, I would have seen it and climbed over it. There would have been no danger of falling, for I would have been aware of the danger.” The fact that the twig was small was what made it dangerous.

In our spiritual pathway, the devil places little temptations to defeat us. His little traps or obstructions are more effective than the big ones, partly because if people do notice them, they may think they are too small to make a difference.

Beware of little things!! It was only a “little thing” — a bit of forbidden fruit — that brought sin and its curse into the world.
