Days and days of small things

September 16th, 2011 by Maureen

For who has despised the day of small things? Zec. 4:10a

We seldom realize the impact of  small things as we are experiencing them.  Too often we focus attention on what we see as big moments when our true legacies are collections of little moments strung together. It’s not up to us to create the moments, only to do the little things as though they matter and let God take care of assigning them significance.

Lord, help me approach the little things with grace and enthusiasm.

Realistically idealistic

So love truth and peace. Zech 8:19b

Our world encourages an attitude to self-serving and self-preservation. It’s easy to become disillusioned and cynical and to consider the pursuit of truth and peace to be unrealistic and idealistic. Yet the life Christ lived and the life he offers us is full of truth and peace.

Lord, I love the ideals that reflect your nature, help me to live them out.
