The biggest things in life are the little things. Many go through life wishing to make the one big splash, to receive recognition, to accomplish something spectacular or noteworthy. Life is not to be measured by the big things but by a continual, consistent stream of little things, hardly noticeable, but powerful in their combined impact.
A pleasant tomorrow depends on living fully today. The little things, reflected in the habits of one’s life, make life full and abundant: the discipline of arising early, meditating, praying, and reading; time spent with family regularly; being true to one’s word with honesty and integrity; filling one’s day with priorities rather than the urgent or peripheral; committing oneself to the best rather than being satisified with the good.
“God, help me pay attention today to the little things to your glory.”
