Take Care of the Little Things

John Maxwell

Someone who has some influence should try to build a team. Just start with what’s necessary. You’ve got to start small and work up to it. A person who has never led before needs to try to influence one other person.

Don’t try to conquer the world until you’ve taken care of things in your own backyard

Don’t try to conquer the world until you’ve taken care of things in your own backyard




Take Care of the Little Things. Daily Devotional by John Maxwell.

When I teach at a conference or go to a book signing, people sometimes confide in me that they desire to write books too. “How do I get started?” they ask.

“How much writing do you do now?” I ask in return.

Some tell me about articles and other pieces they are writing, and I simply encourage them; but most of the time they sheepishly respond,

“Well, I haven’t really written anything yet.”
“Then you need to start writing,”
I explain. “You’ve got to start small and work up to it.”

Leadership is the same. You’ve got to start small and work up to it. A person who has never led before needs to try to influence one other person.

Someone who has some influence should try to build a team. Just start with what’s necessary.

St. Francis of Assisi said, “Start doing what is necessary; then do what is possible; and suddenly you are doing the impossible.” All good leadership begins where you are.


It was Napoleon who said, “The only conquests which are permanent and leave no regrets are our conquests over ourselves.”

The small responsibilities you have before you now comprise the first great leadership conquest you must make.

Don’t try to conquer the world until you’ve taken care of things in your own backyard.

—The 360° Leader
WHAT ONE SMALL, SPECIFIC LEADERSHIP STEP CAN YOU TAKE TODAY?

In the incarnation, God spanned the vast chasm of fear that had distanced him from his human creation

Reflections on the Incarnation and Freedom of God

Philip Yancey
Think of the condescension involved: the incarnation, which sliced history into two parts had more animal than human witnesses. Think, too, of the risk. In the incarnation, God spanned the vast chasm of fear that had distanced him from his human creation.
Remember that His presence can be experienced. His promise is as true as ever.

The Blessing of the Presence of Jesus

Charles Spurgeon
He is as certainly with us now as He was with the disciples at the lake when they saw coals of fire, fish on the coals, and bread (John 21:9). Not physically, but still in real truth, Jesus is with us!
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them.

God’s Awesome Love

Charles Stanley
The shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all the things that they had heard and seen, as it was told them. With great awe and in complete reverence, the shepherds looked upon the baby Jesus. It was true.
The clear claim of Scripture, and Mary’s own testimony, is that she had never been physically intimate with any man.

DAILY DEVOTIONAL

The Announcement to Mary

John Macarthur
When we first meet Mary in Luke’s gospel, it is on the occasion when an archangel appeared to her suddenly and without fanfare to disclose to her God’s wonderful plan.
The precious blood of the Lamb slain removes the guilt and purges away the defilement of our sins of ignorance and carelessness.

Sanctifying Joy and Cleansing Grace

Charles Spurgeon
Amid the cheerfulness of household gatherings, it is easy to slide into sinful amusements and forget our declared character as Christians. It should not be so, but it is, that our days of feasting are very seldom days of sanctified enjoyment.
