| Nothing Done For God Is Ever Wasted |
|
| ¡°Teach me, O LORD, to follow your decrees; then I will keep them to the end.¡± ( Psalm 119:33 , NIV ) |
|
All through the Bible you will find victories for the people of God. Of course, nothing done for God is ever wasted, especially gigantic feats of monumental consequences.
But what about the little things . . . things that may not seem like much? Very often it¡¯s the little things that count.
One of my students walked in one morning and said, ¡°Teacher, I prayed for you last night. I asked the Lord to keep you.¡± My student did not know that my mother was dying and that I was having a hard time. In the days and weeks that followed, I was not only comforted, but was able to let go and let my mother return to God.
My student¡¯s prayers for me certainly weren¡¯t wasted.
Do something for God today. It may be a simple encouraging note, a phone call, an errand for a shut-in or any number of seemingly small, insignificant things but it is never wasted, to the recipient or to God.
¡°The King will reply, ¡®I tell you the truth, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers of mine, you did for me.¡¯¡± |

Dear precious Lord, You have given us so much. May we be quick to be a blessing to others. Thank You for Jesus, our beautiful Savior. In His wonderful name. Amen. - JOAN CLAYTON, Portales, New Mexico |
