Doing What You Can Do

It is the greatest of all mistakes to do nothing because we can only do a little. – S. Smith

Aaron helping Moses lift his arms in prayer during the battle was a small thing, but not to Joshua. Amen!

Every ant colony or beehive is so built, established, and run with efficiency because each one does their part. It is not so much that it is a small part to play, it’s the fact that it is a necessary role to be filled. Without it, the whole cannot be completed, so each ant or bee works diligently without complete knowledge of the others doing their part, but with conviction the task they themselves are doing is beneficial to the cause leading to greater benefits. God in His wisdom has never asked us to do it all, He only asks us to do what we know needs to be done. He can work around us, but He would rather Jesus live in us and work through us, than in spite of us. We just need remember ‘inch by inch it’s a cinch!

Until tomorrow…

Master of Change

The greatest resolution one can make is to resolve to make each day a happy one for someone else. – S. Smith

Onesiphorus often went out of his way to “refresh” Paul, and he had to sometimes search hard just to find him. Dedication is a hard thing! Hmm!

With the New Year we often challenge ourselves by way of resolution or promise that we will do certain things to improve our lot in life. Sometimes we’re successful, but more often than not we let them fall by the wayside very quickly. But with all the improvement we do make upon ourselves the world just doesn’t seem to change at all. Perhaps we should take a look at the Master of change – JESUS – his way of changing the world was to reach out to others, help them along the way, make their life less burdensome. It brought his life more joy. Yes, life will go on in 2016 but the decision to make it enjoyable rests with us.

Until tomorrow……
