Every Day Counts
By Pastor John. Filed in Sermons |
The Book of Acts is full of “historic moments.” These were events in which the decisions and actions of people like the Apostle Paul literally changed the course of history. The results of those decisions are still rippling through our lives to this day.
Consider this: Paul had been determined to carry the news about Jesus to the people of present-day Eastern Turkey, Georgia, and possibly Azerbaijan. But in obedience to a vision he sees while in the town of Troas (Acts 16), he changed direction and went west to northern Greece instead . . . and the rest, as they say, is history.
But here’s the question: Do you think Paul and his companions knew they were doing something historic or do you think it all seemed like another “normal” day in the life of a missionary? Do you think Lois & Eunice ever dreamed that Timothy would play such a significant role in the spread of Christianity while they were raising him? (2 Timothy 1:5)
My point is that our actions and decisions matter because they start chain reactions that ripple through time. So make each day, each decision count . . . some of them may turn out to be historic!
