“AT LEAST!”
Ephesians 6:13
 “Therefore take up the whole armor of God, that you may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand.”

When we hear the phrase at least, it is easy to assume that an anticipated goal was not met. For instance: We had hoped to harvest 300 acres this week, but at least we did harvest 200 acres. That same sentiment could be applied to any number of goals that were set, but not met. We had hoped to do one thing, but at least we did something.

At least is not necessarily a bad thing. In fact, there is some merit to it. While many people would give up and do nothing, individuals with purpose do the best they can and accomplish everything that's within their power to accomplish.

Life is filled with challenges to our way of thinking. It is so easy to become discouraged, give up, and do nothing. People with a spirit of discouragement are not even capable of saying "at least this much was accomplished."

I want to give you a word of encouragement. With God’s help, do the best you are capable of doing for Him. We may not be able to do everything ourselves, but at least we can do our best for the Lord and leave the rest up to Him.

May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!

It seemed that every time she gave her testimony she looked and sounded like she had just been baptized in lemon juice! It became a joke for the kids in the church. We kids who were eight or nine years of age would make faces and imitate this lady. I am sure her heart was pure and her devotion to the Lord was pure, but her face lacked the appearance of joy. At times we Christians seem to have a short circuit when it comes to having the joy of our salvation. We talk of t
