Today I learned more about the LITTLE DUTIES. About the daily round. 

I am very much interested in the little duties. You probably too.

Some time ago I learned this about the little duties: “LIfe is full of little duties. Worrying about them, grumbling about them, dwelling apon them makes the duties shackles which bind us, but just doing the duties makes them wings.” – Anonymous 

There is a shop in the town where I live, (Kaitaia/NZ) where you can buy lawnmowers you can ride on. The mowers are displayed outside in front of the shop, and there are many.

Today I passed the shop at the time in the evening when someone pushed the mowers back to safety into the shop, and do you know what the reply of the young man was, when I mentioned the little duties, the daily round? He said, “THAT IS MY GYM WORK.”

What is ATTITUDE?

According to The Collins Concise Dictionary Attitude is “the way a person views something or tends to behave towards it, often in an evaluative way.”

“That is my Gym Work.” That is the right attitude. I have learned something! 

“Stevens

the heart of your home”

That’s what it says on the plastic bag I find in our bedroom. “RECYCABLE” is also written on both sides. And of course the website.

Typing the website into Google I find that Stephens are “The Kitchen Specialists.”

When I read all that I asked myself, “What is the most central part of my home?” “What is the heart of my home?”

I want the Lord Jesus Christ to be the heart of my home. I want the Lord Jesus Christ to be  the central part of my home.

I think we have so much domestic violence because the Lord Jesus Christ is not the central part, the heart of our homes.

I am reading now “GOD’S LITTLE DEVOTIONAL BOOK.”

Another book I really enjoy reading!

The word collision is not a nice word. Crashes, car crashes are coming to my mind, when I hear the word. But a collision is also “the conflict of opposed ideas, wishes, attitudes, etc.”, according to The Concise Collins Dictionary.

We are opposed to God. The truth about man is that he is not only separated from God, but he hates God. We by nature, as we are born into this world, fight against God. We are enemies of God. Our minds are alienated from God. We are striving against our creator.

We are on a collision course with God. When did this collision course start? It started with the Fall in the Garden of Eden. We are sinners.

I am emphasising the collision course because we are hearing so much about the repairs, the restoration, the healing of the broken relationship. We are hearing so much about grace.

Dr Lloyd – Jones is well known to evangelicals, and while in London many years ago it was my privilege to hear him preach at Westminster Chapel, and this is what he says in one of his books: 

“IT IS BECAUSE MAN HAS AN INADEQUATE CONCEPTION OF SIN THAT HE HAS AN INADEQUATE CONCEPTION OF THE GRACE OF GOD.”
