The right box? One thing about the human experience is we're always looking and waiting for things that are bold, big and exciting; you know, the present in the most fancy and biggest box. If we can't have it served up with a bang, we probably won't get very excited about it when it happens.
Think about it. Heroes are the people all around us, the commonplace folks like you and I who simply try hard and accomplish little things. But those little things are really deserving of our praise more than any fete on a football field. Athletes have their trophies and paychecks.
God’s Word tells us: “Because of the increase of wickedness, the love of most will grow cold, 13 but the one who stands firm to the end will be saved” (Matthew 24: 12).
Today seek-out someone today who does the small things that make a difference in the lives of those around them. Give them a "high-five." They may not be the most prominent person you know; but when you consider the box they come in, they are probably the most dear.
“I pray today in Jesus name that when we be seekers of the ordinary folks around us who are nothing special but entirely worthy of our praise because of the One who created them and us for such a time as this.” Amen!”
“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own” (Matthew 6:34) www.thispassingday.com
