A micro-moment is defined as a very short amount of time, usually one that is seen as being important in some way. We typically do not even realize we are living in these until it is too late.
As Christ-followers, our lives are filled with micro-moments of appeasing our flesh or surrendering to the Lord. In a micro-moment, we can:
Forgive instead of letting bitterness fester; Open our Bible instead of social media; Choose integrity instead of compromise; Go to the Lord in prayer instead of gossiping again; Tend to our spirit instead of feeding an addiction; Steward well instead of spend compulsively; Be honest instead of people-pleasing; Thank the Lord for blessing instead of fret over the frustrating.Micro-moments are so easily dismissed as not a big deal. Yet, they are the precise things that lead to chains. The little things are the big things!
Be encouraged today to embrace the significance of your every single micro-moment of life. It is an absolute wonder that we have been crucified with Christ. Our flesh no longer gets to call the shots, because we now live by faith in the One who gave it all!
"I have been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me. And the life I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." Galatians 2:20
In Him,
Falen
