The term "smaller" can be both literal and metaphorical, illustrating God's preference for using the humble and the meek to accomplish His purposes.<br><br><b>Biblical Examples:</b><br><br>1. <b>David and Goliath</b>: One of the most famous biblical narratives illustrating the theme of "smaller" is the account of David and Goliath. David, the youngest and smallest of Jesse's sons, was chosen by God to defeat the giant Goliath. Despite his size and youth, David's faith in God allowed him to triumph over the Philistine warrior. This account is a powerful reminder that God often uses the smaller and seemingly weaker individuals to achieve great victories. As David declared, "The LORD does not save by sword or by spear; for the battle is the LORD’s" (<a href="/1_samuel/17-47.htm">1 Samuel 17:47</a>).<br><br>2. <b>Gideon's Army</b>: In <a href="/bsb/judges/7.htm">Judges 7</a>, God reduces Gideon's army from 32,000 men to just 300 to ensure that Israel would recognize that their victory over the Midianites was due to divine intervention rather than human strength. This reduction highlights the biblical principle that God often works through smaller numbers to demonstrate His power and glory.<br><br>3. <b>The Mustard Seed</b>: Jesus uses the parable of the mustard seed to illustrate the Kingdom of God. Though the mustard seed is one of the smallest seeds, it grows into a large plant. Jesus said, "The kingdom of heaven is like a mustard seed that a man planted in his field. Although it is the smallest of all seeds, yet when it grows, it is the largest of garden plants and becomes a tree" (<a href="/matthew/13-31.htm">Matthew 13:31-32</a>). This parable emphasizes how God can use small beginnings to bring about significant outcomes.<br><br>4. <b>The Widow's Offering</b>: In <a href="/mark/12-41.htm">Mark 12:41-44</a>, Jesus observes a poor widow who contributes two small coins to the temple treasury. Despite the smallness of her offering, Jesus commends her for giving all she had, contrasting her with the wealthy who gave out of their abundance. This account underscores the value God places on the heart and sacrifice behind the offering, rather than its size.<br><br>5. <b>Bethlehem</b>: The prophet Micah foretold that the Messiah would come from Bethlehem, a small and seemingly insignificant town. "But you, Bethlehem Ephrathah, though you are small among the clans of Judah, out of you will come for me one who will be ruler over Israel" (<a href="/micah/5-2.htm">Micah 5:2</a>). This prophecy highlights how God often chooses the humble and lowly to fulfill His divine plans.<br><br><b>Theological Implications:</b><br><br>The theme of "smaller" in the Bible serves as a reminder of God's sovereignty and His ability to use the humble and insignificant to accomplish His purposes. It challenges human perceptions of power and greatness, encouraging believers to trust in God's wisdom and timing. The biblical narrative consistently shows that God's strength is made perfect in weakness (<a href="/2_corinthians/12-9.htm">2 Corinthians 12:9</a>), and that He exalts the humble (<a href="/james/4-10.htm">James 4:10</a>).<br><br>In summary, the concept of "smaller" in the Bible is a profound testament to God's preference for using the humble and the seemingly insignificant to achieve His divine purposes, demonstrating that true strength and significance come from Him alone.<a name="grk" id="grk"></a><div class="vheading2">Greek</div><a href="/greek/1640.htm"><span class="l">1640. elasson -- <b>smaller</b>, less</span></a> <br><b>...</b> <b>smaller</b>, less.
