insidious creeping

so i like the word insidious. it sounds like what it's saying. as i was reading in matt 6 & 7 tonight, i was thinking about how all of this stuff seems pretty basic. and yet that's just the point. it's the little decisions and tiny things that i do every day that add up to glorious amounts of God-worship. my life isn't defined by the job i do or by the title i have. it's not determined by the parents i have or the place that i live. it's the nitty-gritty living of every decision every day that speaks to who i am and who i am becoming. many of these things are simple principles that i know and nod my head in agreement with. but when i look back and evaluate my day...when i magnify my life, does it continuously nod in agreement as well? and in this magnification i am reminded that i have much to learn.

Nice Joel...was it Mere Christianity that referenced the each decision shapes who we are? And with each decision, we become more or less like God depending on our choice (observing of course that there are many options to a given situation)...
