Yesterday when I read my friend's blog, I saw this quote: "Every drop counts". The next thing came to my mind is "Every second counts". Then by some circumstance, I saw this quote from somewhere: " 泰山不让土壤，故能成其大，河海不择细流，故能就其深 ". All these quotes emphasized one simple thing, no matter how small the amount is, no matter how small the value is, when they are united or aggregated together, they became something significant. This is the correct way to get knowledge, some of the things might sound simple or basic, but it is these simple and basic things that enable us to understand more complex things.
Nowadays in schools or tuition, when a teacher taught something, then a student will ask, "Is this important?" Some will even ask in a more direct way, "Will this come out in the exam?" This is what happen to our education system nowadays. Student wants knowledge that need for exams only, extra information is needless. Sounds sad isn't it. But when I think about myself, actually I have become one of them also, just concentrate on what will come out in exam, just want to know what is important. But as time passes I realized that this is not the way. Understanding of the mechanisms of hormone actions tells us the physiological effects of hormones and pathogenesis. Understanding of molecular structures of different muscles tells us the mechanism of muscle contraction and functions in human body. Understanding of membrane structure and ion channels leads to the understanding of drugs that treat a disease. The stone the builders rejected has become the capstone. (Marks 12:10) Sometime the things that we think is not important, is actually the key that leads to the understanding of the whole things.
In John 6:1-15, Jesus asks the disciples where they can get foods to feed five thousand men (excluding women and children). Philips said even eight months' wages cannot feed them. Then Peter brings a boy who wants to give five loaves of bread and two small fishes. How can this small amount of food can feed so many people? But after giving thanks, Jesus miraculously turns five breads and two fishes into many food that can feed the five thousand with left over. Even though that boy gave a small amount of food, but Jesus can use that small amount of food to feed the five thousand. Sometime what we have is little and have low significance, but we should appreciate it and present it to God, because God can make it into something significant. Amen.
