A Little Every Day
Rarely does drastic change happen in our lives overnight. If you want to be different, it generally takes some time. If you want to defeat a particular sin or habit, time is where the real battle is won. If you want to know the Bible, you can’t read it all in one sitting - and one reading won’t download it all into your spirit. If you want your marriage to improve, one night of arguing and making up can be great, but it’s not enough.
The power to change is in the consistency. If you want to learn to pray, you’ve got to pray a little every day. If you want to stop a particular sin, you defeat it one temptation at a time.
We often overestimate what we can do in a day and underestimate what we can do in a year. Start somewhere and make progress. Then, look back a month from now and realize where you were and are now.
