“I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth ·are gone [pass away; disappear], not even·the smallest letter [one jot;one iota; the smallest Greek letter] or the smallest·part [stroke;tittle] of a letter will·be lost [pass away; disappear] until everything has happened [is accomplished/achieved].”
It has been said that
as Christians and representatives of the God’s kingdom we might be the only
sermon some others may ever hear or the only Bible they might read. In essence our actions, words and deeds are
constantly being observed, evaluated and critiqued. Some look to us for strength of how to handle
difficult situations; others try to figure out how we can maintain such uncanny
peace in the midst of turmoil. Whatever
the outside observers see or feel it is imperative that we, as ambassadors of
the Most High God, uphold a level of integrity and honor; which means we must be
mindful of the ‘details’.
Jesus in his statement
as recorded in Matthew declared that not even the smallest increment would be
overlooked or unfulfilled. We often exclaim that a project has been thoroughly
checked out and that everything is in proper order when we state that every “i”
has its dot and every “t” has been properly crossed. This indicates that everything is in the
right place and there is no confusion.
So should it be with the Body of Christ.
We must pay attention to how, when and where we speak so there is no
confusion of our intentions. We must be
reasonable in our dress and judicious about the places we visit, and careful of
the company that we keep. What might
seem like a triviality could carry volumetric ramifications. Be wise and pay attention to the details;
others might be and we know that God is.
Every day is a good day it is up to us to make
it a GREAT power-filled day. Be blessed!
Dr. JoAnn
