The Little Things

         The little things in life make all the difference.  Sometimes little words of encouragement make you feel like you can climb mountains.  The little habits in life can determine whether we are successful or we fail.  As Christians those little things or those little habits make all the difference.

        Paul says pray continually (I Thess. 5:17).  We know that we should not forsake the assembly (Heb. 10:25).  We know we need to study the scriptures daily (Acts 17:11; Col. 3:16).  We understand that we should steadfastly serve God daily (Heb. 3:14).  Those things seem very simple but they have a huge impact on our life.  Those simple things mold us and grow us into becoming stronger and better Christians (I Thess. 5:16-22).

        Now there are things that we should not do (I Cor. 15:33).  Things like forsaking the assembly can be damaging to our spiritual lives.  We must be careful that the habits of the world do not enter into our lives.  Habits are simply formed when we repeatedly do something to the point that our brain automatically makes connections.  Should we be concerned that every time we sit down at home we turn on the TV?  Should we be concerned that every morning we wake up we for sale a time of prayer and a time of study?  It is those little things in life which determine whether or not we are successful in Christ or we fail.

      We need to be aware of the little things in our lives.  Let us let every one of the little things be about God.  From everything to spending time with God in prayer to using a trip to the water fountain to set up a Bible study.  We need to make our drives to work a time of reflection and perhaps a time of prayer.  The little things in life, when they are governed by God, will change us and mold us more than we can imagine.  The little things are very important. 
 
Focus on the little things.

My Thoughts

Think on what is lovely. Let God direct your mind to what is truly lovely in this world. At the very least that tree, flower, and blade of grass that He made and you saw today is lovely. Let Him influence your thoughts every day until you think on what God considers lovely. Then dwell on those things. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom. (Col. 3:16) There will be an overflow of lovely thoughts pour from your mind. Think about how encouraging to others that would be. Think lovely thoughts.

"I Don't Wana Go" :(

Christianity is much more than just Sunday morning. In fact it’s an everyday focus, "pick up your cross daily" Christ said ( Luke 9:23 ).  Because of that everyday race running the assembling of the saints should be what we look forward to ( Heb. 12:1-2, 10:25 ). It's the one place we can be around those we are in fellowship with that are seeking to achieve the same goal, Heaven. A place to be rejuvenated, to mature, and to worship God. A reason why you should be seeking such assembling's of the saints and excited to be a part of it is that there is nothing else like it. You were made one of them when you were immersed into Christ. You live every day without that group at your side. So a few days a week you get to be around the saints ( Eph. 2:19, 2 Cor. 13:13 ). Who see the world the way you do ( Romans 12:2; James 4:4 ). Who live in the world the way you do ( Matt. 5:13-16 ). Who desire to be like Christ like you do ( Phil. 2:5; 1 John 2:6 ). Most importantly ...

Your Structure

“But  I  discipline  my  body and bring it into subjection, lest, when  I  have preached to others,  I myself  should become disqualified” (1 Corinthians 9:27). It would be best if you worked on creating in your mind mental structures for success. A study was done where  two basketball teams had to shoot free throws. One group went out and shot 100 free throws with something life 30% accuracy. The second group had sat for 30 minutes and visualized making a perfect free throw 100 times. That team went out and shot 100 free throws with 75% accuracy. What is the difference? The mental structure. You can do the same. Paul said, “I discipline my body, I seek to please God.” Just like Paul, we must get in our heads what we will do to be successful in Christ. Work to create Godly mental structures.                          ...
