Moments Make a Life
Moments Make a Life
by Gary Henry
Job 7:17-18 - “What is man, that You should exalt him, that You should set Your heart on him, that You should visit him every morning, and test him every moment?” Growing to be a person of Godly integrity is the work of a lifetime, but whether we grow in this direction or not is determined by the many “little” decisions we make moment by moment. A human life is the accumulation of all its moments. There is no such thing as an unimportant decision.
Did our Lord not warn us to be careful about the “little” things? Did He not say, “He who is faithful in what is least is faithful also in much; and he who is unjust in what is least is unjust also in much” (Luke 16:10)? Life is a long journey indeed, but although the steps that take us toward God are many, they should be taken — indeed, can only be taken — one at a time. The key to life is the peaceful, persistent management of the moments.
“Take care of the minutes, and the hours will take care of themselves.”
- Lord Chesterfield
The excerpt above was from Gary Henry’s book “Diligently Seeking God.” I highly recommend this book to enhance your daily devotion to God. It provides one article per day to hone our focus on that which is most important. - Brian M.
