LITTLE THINGS


I had to fly to Perth the other day so while at the airport I bought a book called, "History's worst decisions and the people who made them". It basically covers from Adam and Eves bad call on the fruit to the Enron disaster. There were some real shockers in amongst the list, but what surprised me the most wasn't the bigness of the wrong decision but it was the smallness of one bad call. It was one bad piece of advice, one over inflated ego, one season to early or to late. They weren't big obvious mistakes, once again proving that it really is "the small foxes that spoil the vine". Song 2:15

Doing the little things well is what most people stop doing when they encounter busy times, but it was actually those small things that opened the door to being a productive person. Often a reason why a church that has seen growth stops seeing it is because of the small things that they did so well, with no agenda, no pressure it was just what they did , it was just who they were.

So dont let the small things hinder your progress.


Eccles. 10:1 (NLT) Dead flies will cause even a bottle of perfume to stink! Yes, an ounce of foolishness can outweigh a pound of wisdom and honor.
