FAITHFUL!
James 1:4 – Devotional
James 1:4
“But let patience have its perfect work, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking nothing.“
I once heard a story of a new pastor of a small congregation. One day he decided that the piano belonged on the opposite side of the church, so he moved it. This caused such a stir amongst the members that he had to leave the church, and the piano was moved back into its original location.
Sometime later the pastor visited his former church and, to his amazement, the piano was sitting where he had wanted to place it. When he asked the new pastor how he had accomplished the task, he was informed that all it took was … an inch a week.
There was a time in my life when I wondered if I had what it took to stay focused over a long period of time. Looking back over the past twenty-three years I realize that the accomplishment of writing well over 7,500 DailyEvotionals simply boils down to doing it one DailyEvotional at a time.
My prayer is that each of us will realize that God does not call us to be spectacular in our service for Him. He does, however, call us to persevere day by day. The way we do this is by keeping our eyes on Him and allowing Him to direct our life. If you want to make a difference in the world … FAITHFULNESS!
Blessings dear hearts! May God richly bless you as you bless others by your words and actions!
