The power of “littles”

From the April 2026 issue of The Christian Science Journal


Some time ago the Christian Science Bible Lesson was full of “littles”—a little while, a little city, a little leaven, a little book. It came to me that understanding the power of “littles” can help us face big challenges. Here’s what I understood from reading that Lesson:

1.  In a little while Lebanon would be “turned into a fruitful field” (Isaiah 29:17). Similarly, we don’t have to wait a long while for big blessings to come from our prayerful sowing. 

2.  A “little city” is delivered by the wisdom of one “poor wise man” (see Ecclesiastes 9:14, 15). Even though each individual is only a count of one, their inspired thought can protect all whom that thought rests on.
