The Message
I have so much admiration for John. Here he is, preaching in the desert, and the crowds are streaming out to hear him. Rather than get caught up in believing his own press, however, he continues to point to Christ. It never becomes about John -- it remains about Christ.
It's easy to think now about what we would do with ten million dollars if we won the lottery. It's easy to make those commitments now. But when the check hits your hand, it's suddenly a lot harder to fulfill those promises -- it's easier to cling tightly once it's yours.
It's so important to practices disciplines now. When we do the small things, they become habits that are ingrained in our personalities. They become part of who we are. And they allow us to shape our ways of living so that as we grow in responsibility, we continue to stay true to those habits.
Don't wait, putting things off until later. Practice small habits of faithfulness and discipline now, that you may continue to grow into faithfulness, growing into the life God has prepared for you.
