“When’s it going to happen for me?!”
It’s easy to get discouraged when things don’t happen the way we wanted them to or as fast as we wanted. Social media shows us everyone’s success, their vacations, their friendships, the new…whatever, and often it seems that our ordinary, little life just doesn’t stack up.
I posit that, if you are doing what you do, no matter how ordinary it seemingly is or unnoticed though it may be, if you are doing it with your whole heart as unto the Lord and not unto man, being faithful in the small things, then it IS “happening for you.” See Matthew 25
Check this out from a devotional on YouVersion: “God isn’t asking you to be famous; God’s asking you to be faithful…BEFORE any great acts, AFTER any great acts, or WITHOUT any great acts… Faithfulness is a marathon not a sprint” (The Blessing of the Ordinary Devotional).
What may seem ordinary to us can become extra-ordinary when we recognize Who it is we are “working” for. There’s a destination better than Cabo San Lucas, better than Puerto Vallarta, better than _____ fill in the blank. Be faithful in the little (ordinary) things, and you WILL be ruler over much.
How can you be more faithful today, right where you are in that thing you do called life?
Feel free to comment. Sometimes just putting it out there helps. I will respond.
