The following is taken from Spurgeon's Morning and Evening:
"Do not be content with forming schemes and talking of them. One good deed is worth a thousand theories. Let us not wait for large opportunities or for a different kind of work, but do the things we find to do day by day. We have no other time in which to live; past is gone, future not arrived. We never have any time but the present.
Serve God! Do it with all your might. Do it promptly. Do not fritter away your life in thinking what you intend to do tomorrow as if that would recompense for the idleness of today. No man served God by doing things tomorrow. Do it today with heart, soul and strength.
And remember, your might is not in yourself. NO, you are perfect weakness. Your might is in the Lord of hosts. Seed His help. Then wait in prayer and faith for His blessing. Only then will what we do be well done and not fail in its effect."
And adding to this, I recently went to the funeral of a young man and this was said of him: It was not a big work that he did, but it was the everyday details of life lived well that made him great. One man wrote of him: "he did not seek to impress but by his very life that is exactly what he did."
