A Little Bit of Something

Written by Joyce C. Lock


“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 rejectedrepparttar 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 chooserepparttar 126593 easy road, a low road;repparttar 126594 path of least resistance.

He isrepparttar Rock, his work is perfect: for all his ways are judgment: a God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is he. Only fearrepparttar 126592 Lord, and serve him in truth with all your heart: for consider how great things he hath done for you.

Allrepparttar 126593 paths ofrepparttar 126594 Lord are mercy and truth unto such as keep his covenant and his testimonies. Forrepparttar 126595 word ofrepparttar 126596 Lord is right; and all his works are done in truth. And in thy majesty ride prosperously because of truth and meekness and righteousness; and thy right hand shall teach thee terrible things.

Behold, thou desirest truth inrepparttar 126597 inward parts: and inrepparttar 126598 hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom. For thy mercy is great untorepparttar 126599 heavens, and thy truth untorepparttar 126600 clouds. Thou hast given a banner to them that fear thee, that it may be displayed because ofrepparttar 126601 truth. Selah.

Justice and judgment arerepparttar 126602 habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face. He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler.

Beforerepparttar 126603 Lord: for he cometh, for he cometh to judgerepparttar 126604 earth: he shall judgerepparttar 126605 world with righteousness, andrepparttar 126606 people with his truth. Forrepparttar 126607 Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; and his truth endureth to all generations. They stand fast for ever and ever, and are done in truth and uprightness. For his merciful kindness is great toward us: andrepparttar 126608 truth ofrepparttar 126609 Lord endureth for ever. Praise yerepparttar 126610 Lord.

Thy righteousness is an everlasting righteousness, and thy law isrepparttar 126611 truth. Thou art near, O Lord; and all thy commandments are truth.

The Lord is nigh unto all them that call upon him, to all that call upon him in truth. Which made heaven, and earth,repparttar 126612 sea, and all that therein is: which keepeth truth for ever.

Let not mercy and truth forsake thee: bind them about thy neck; write them uponrepparttar 126613 table of thine heart: By mercy and truth iniquity is purged: and byrepparttar 126614 fear ofrepparttar 126615 Lord men depart from evil.

Buyrepparttar 126616 truth, and sell it not; also wisdom, and instruction, and understanding. Open yerepparttar 126617 gates, thatrepparttar 126618 righteous nation which keepethrepparttar 126619 truth may enter in. That he who blesseth himself inrepparttar 126620 earth shall bless himself inrepparttar 126621 God of truth; and he that sweareth inrepparttar 126622 earth shall swear byrepparttar 126623 God of truth; becauserepparttar 126624 former troubles are forgotten, and because they are hid from mine eyes. And thou shalt swear, The Lord liveth, in truth, in judgment, and in righteousness; andrepparttar 126625 nations shall bless themselves in him, and in him shall they glory.

Run ye to and fro throughrepparttar 126626 streets of Jerusalem, and see now, and know, and seek inrepparttar 126627 broad places thereof, if ye can find a man, if there be any that executeth judgment, that seekethrepparttar 126628 truth; and I will pardon it. Behold, I will bring it health and cure, and I will cure them, and will reveal unto themrepparttar 126629 abundance of peace and truth.
