The eigth law of progression: Everyday Counts

While this law is simple enough to understand, many of us stumble on this one. Jesus knew the importance of making each day count while ministering here on earth. John 21:25 says, “Of course, Jesus also did many other things, and I suppose that if every one of them were written down the world couldn't contain the books that would be written.” Jesus was so focused on what He did that the kind of wondrous things He did are too many in number to be recorded. He made each day count.

In the verse above we see the psalmist seeking God’s help to teach him to number his days. In other words, he meant, “Lord, help me realize that my life here is temporary and that I need to live each day wisely and effectively.” In order to progress, we need to live each day to its fullest.

In Proverbs 6:6-8 we read, “Go to the ant, O sluggard, observe her ways and be wise, which, having no chief, officer or ruler, prepares her food in the summer and gathers her provision in the harvest.” Something as tiny as an ant has a lesson to teach us. Without a leader or a guide, the ant labors to store food, preparing itself for the future. For so small a creature, it has enough within it to realize that if it doesn’t, it will suffer.

Are you making each day count? Progress can be a difficult process otherwise.
