pg 153 made me think about all the excuses we come up with to prevent doing what God wants us to do...but like the reminder with the story of Abraham and Isaac "He knew that God is just and righteous in all His requirements, and he obeyed the command to the very letter".
Also, what a great reminder that "every act of life, however small, has its bearing for good or evil". And that "It is the little things that test the character. Is is the unpretending acts of daily self-denial, performed with a cheerful, willing heart, that God smiles upon. We are not to live for self, but for others. -- what a powerful reminder!!!
