| Nothing Done For God Is Ever Wasted |
|
D: This morning¡¯s Power for Today author says that even the little things done for God ¡°count¡± (or have value).
V: She¡¯s right. Often we think that we have to do those ¡°gigantic feats of monumental consequences.¡±
D: What does that mean?
V: Well, that the author¡¯s words. A ¡°gigantic feat¡± means a ¡°very large or great action,¡± and a ¡°monumental consequence¡± means a huge result.
D: I get it. For example, I would like to preach a sermon and have 3000 people respond.
V: That would be a ¡°gigantic feat of monumental consequence.¡± But what about taking a cup of water to someone who is thirsty?
D: The author suggests other things, like doing an ¡°errand for a shut-in,¡± which means doing a job for someone who cannot leave their house.
V: Yes. There are so many things that need to be done, large things and small things.
D: I think the author¡¯s point in today¡¯s reading is that whatever we do for the Lord will count.
V: Exactly. She says that one time her students prayed for her, and asked the Lord to ¡°keep her¡± (which means to take care of her).
D: It was a small prayer, but also very valuable.
V: She says that the student did not know at the time about the author¡¯s sick mother and the ¡°hard¡± (or difficult) time she was having.
D: So she says that the student¡¯s prayers ¡°certainly weren¡¯t wasted.¡±
V: In other words, her prayers was not useless, but very useful.
D: Well, let¡¯s not waste today, but do something, no matter how small, for someone else.
V: I think I like that idea. |
