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!

The Fathead Diet

It’s time to diet when you can pinch an inch – on your forehead! – Anon

Paul was even willing to part company with John Mark to further the gospel message. Hmm!

It is often said that the first thing dieters lose is their good mood or disposition! After all, who wants to miss out on all the goodies, especially when there are festive meals to partake of and restaurants on every block? But in truth a diet doesn’t always have to involve the refrigerator or food. We can put our wallets and credit cards on a diet to “fit” into a budget. We can cut back on TV and get more sleep or rest. We can spend less time on social media outlets, and more time with our face in God’s book. The bottom line is the only way to really change who we are is by changing our daily diet (agenda) – doing a little something different each day, eventually making it a good habit. Today is as good as any to start.

Until tomorrow….
