I was thinking over my day today and deciding not much happened. I packed a bunch of boxes preparing for our move. I took the car to get 4 new tires put on. I exercised this morning, as I usually do. I also fed the kids, cleaned things up, ran errands, and so on. A pretty typical day~except I haven't walked the dogs yet! So, my day just wasn't significant.
Yet wasn't it? God reminds me that every day matters. Every day I have the chance to say yes in a million ways. To say yes to reading his Word. To say yes to taking care of my body, his temple. To say yes to my children when I'd rather be doing something else. To say yes to smiling at a clerk in a store, allowing someone in front of me in traffic, encouraging other members of the body of Christ.
You know, it's faithfulness in the small matters that get us ready for those things that we deem "big." Just like I can't be ready to move next week if I don't get up each day and pack some things into a box, make calls, etc. I can't be ready when God calls on me to respond to a crisis unless I've been faithful to daily answer his voice with a "Yes."
So, in heaven's eyes, who knows how big today was in my life~and in yours? It may be that something as significant happened to me as it did to a young girl, long ago, going about her life. Until angel showed up and said "Hail, Favored one, the Lord is with you." And, Mary, soon-to-be mother of Jesus, responded with a Yes.
Lord Jesus, may it be so with me. Always.
Yes.
