A WORD FOR YOUR DAY

Getting the Small Things Right                



 

 

[Remember] this: he who sows sparingly and grudgingly will also reap sparingly and grudgingly, and he who sows generously [that blessings may come to someone] will also reap generously and with blessings.
—2 Corinthians 9:6

Have you ever gone out to breakfast with somebody whose meal cost them eight dollars and watched them torture themselves over the tip? They have two one-dollar-bills in change, but they know leaving just a dollar would be chintzy. Yet do they leave two dollars? Not on your life! That would be too much. Instead, they'll waste ten minutes out of their life getting change on that second dollar so they can leave $1.50 tip and save themselves fifty cents, rather than leave an "exceptionally generous" tip of two dollars.

But what would happen if they left the full two dollars? They'd free up some valuable time—time undoubtedly worth more to them than fifty cents. And they'd make the waitress's day. Not that the actual fifty cents means much to her, either, but the message that goes along with that fifty cents means the world! It says thanks, and it says what she does has value. Maybe this message gets lost—she may just sweep up the tip without counting—but the generous person will always be blessed. He will know instinctively that he has done the better thing.

What an opportunity! We can increase the happiness of others and ourselves for mere pocket change! This is just one tiny example of the many ways in which the small things we do have surprisingly powerful repercussions. Small things set the tone for our days. Going the extra mile for people—whether it's a slightly larger tip, an unexpected compliment or gift, or even holding a door for them—costs you very little and gets you a lot.

You Only Have Today!

 

If you have never accepted Christ as your Savior, or do not know what it means to “accept Him into your heart”, then please read the following simple steps to salvation. 


First: Admit your need (“I am a sinner. I have done wrong things in my life. I haven’t been perfect Lord”). Second: Be willing to turn away from your sins / wrong-doing (Repent). Third: Believe that Jesus died for you on the cross & has risen from the grave. Fourth: Through prayer, ask Jesus Christ to come in and control your life (invite Him into your heart). Finally: Receive Him as Savior and Lord. It’s that simple.  God loves you!

If you followed these steps just now, then God’s Word (the Bible) says that you are saved! 

God’s Word says, 8“The message is very close at hand; it is on your lips and in your heart.” And that message is the very message about faith that we preach: 9 If you confess with your mouth that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. 10 For it is by believing in your heart that you are made right with God, and it is by confessing with your mouth that you are saved. Romans 10:8-10 (NLT Bible)
