Grace for Living

Romans 5:3-4 We also glory in tribulations, knowing that tribulations produces perserverance; and perseverance, character and character, hope!

These profound words, attributed to English novelist Charles Reade, serve as an important remind of the the power of little things. "Sow an act, and you reap a habit Sow a habit, reap a character. Sow a character, reap a destiny." It's easy to lose the connection between actions and destiny. In between are habits and character, the stuff of which lifetimes are made and destinies realized.

Today you and I will act a hundred times. We would do well to remember the Bible's words that "the steps of a good man are ordered of the Lord, Psalm 37:23. Don't lose sight of the connection between today's acts and tomorrow's destiny.

God has a wonderful plan for you, Embrace every minute of it by acting thoughtfully and diligently.
