The Next Time You Say...

If you're like me, you've wanted to do big things. Especially if you're a Christian, you want to accomplish big things for God. Well, take a moment and read these words of wisdom from Rick Warren...
.
We are often challenged to do the “great things” for God. Actually, God is more pleased when we do small things for him out of obedience. They may be unnoticed by others but God notices them and considers them acts of worship.
.
Great opportunities may come once in a lifetime, but small opportunities surround us every day. Even through such simple acts as telling the truth, being kind, and encouraging others, we bring a smile to God’s face, God treasures simple acts of obedience more than our prayers, praise or offerings. The Bible tells us, “What pleases the Lord more: burnt offerings and sacrifices or obedience to his voice? It is better to obey than to sacrifice.”
(I Samuel 15:22 NCV)

How 'bout taking a moment and doing something little?

Till Next Time...
