“A Little Bit of Something is Better Than All of Nothing” is a
phrase I remember since early childhood. In theory, it sounds
logical. I'd rather have a little piece of candy than none at
all. Wouldn't we all (unless you're diabetic, allergic or
something)?
But, in reality, that phrase has very little truth. Though we
still believe in its merit, it really means to settle for second
best.
So many times, people settle. They settle for mediocrity in
their walk, less than prosperity in their finances, a second
rate calling when they rejected the first. They settle for a
church closer to home, friends that don't place too many
restrictions on their lifestyle, a quick prayer instead of
quality time with God. They choose the easy road, a low road,
the path of least resistance.
As a result, they choose a life of few blessing and even fewer
miracles. They choose to barely squeeze through Heaven's gate
when they could walk a life of victory now. They choose to leave
loved ones behind, to do everything the hard way, to live a life
of heartache and despair. They choose to be their own God.
The truth is, a little bit of something isn't worth much at all.
