Far-sightedness

One of the dangers of focusing on our dreams is that we can miss the everyday opportunities that God has put in front of us. I've been thinking about how many people with needs God has put into my life, right now. Sometimes I overlook that and want God to give me something big, something exciting to do. But He's already given me so many people around me, each with their own need for encouragement, advice, comfort, or correction.

It's a stewardship issue, really. Will we be faithful with the small things that He's made us responsible for today? We have to be faithful with the little we have before He can trust us with more.
