Watch "SMALL THINGS MAKE A BIG DIFFERENCE - The Bermuda Fire and Rescue Service (BFRS)" on YouTube
Today's inspirational message is dedicated to the Bermuda Fire & Rescue Service and their families, all essential services in Bermuda and the world.
"Great things are done by a series of small things brought together."
"If you cannot do great things, do small things in a great way."
Be faithful in small things because it is in them that your strength lies."
The Bible says, "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might." Ecclesiastes 9:10.
The voice of duty is the voice of God—an inborn, heaven-sent guide. Whether it be pleasing or unpleasing, we are to do the duty that lies directly in our pathway. If the Lord would have us bear a message to Nineveh, it will not be pleasing to Him for us to go to Joppa or Capernaum. God has reasons for sending us to the place to which our feet are directed...
"It is the little foxes that spoil the vines, the little neglects, the little deficiencies, the little dishonesties, the little departures from principle, that blind the soul and separate it from God.
It is the little things of life that develop the spirit and determine the character. Those who neglect the little things will not be prepared to endure severe tests when they are brought to bear upon them. Remember that character building is not finished till life ends. Every day a good or bad brick is placed in the structure. You are either building crookedly or with the exactness and correctness that will make a beautiful temple for God. Therefore, in looking for great things to do, neglect not the little opportunities that come to you day by day. He who neglects the little things, and yet flatters himself that he is ready to do wonderful things for the Master, is in danger of failing altogether. Life is made up, not of great sacrifices and of wonderful achievements, but of little things." The Review and Herald, December 29, 1910.
Whatever your hands find to do at all times, do it with all your might. Make your work pleasant with songs of praise. If you would have a clean record in the Bermuda Fire and Rescue Service, or any other area of service, and the books of heaven, never fret or scold. Let your daily prayer be, “Lord, help me do my best... Give me energy and cheerfulness. Help me to bring into my service the loving ministry of YOU, THE GREAT I AM.”
Prayer for the day:
LORD, help me look upon every duty this week, however humble, as sacred because it is part of Your service for me. Help me not to allow anything to make me forgetful of YOU. Most of all, help me bring you into all that I do this week. Father, help me do my best, and be the best at whatsoever I put my hand to from this day forward. Lastly, help me to move forward cheerfully in my learning and service to my country, with my heart filled with YOUR joy.
Have a Happy Day
