Cumulative Value

Last Sunday I shared this statement, "There is a cumulative value to investing small amounts of time over a long period." 

Thirty minutes of exercise over one month is far more beneficial than one long session on one day. Daily investments in your marriage will pay off better than if you only pay attention to your spouse every once in a while. The same is true for your spiritual life; consistent time in the Bible, prayer, and worship has a cumulative value. If you only go to church once a month or less, read the Bible and pray occasionally, then you are missing out on the cumulative value of steady incremental investments in your spiritual life.

You don't get great health over night, your marriage doesn't improve because of one weekend, and you don't become spiritually healthy unless you invest small amounts of energy and time consistently over a long period.

Ephesians 5:15-16, “Be very careful, then, how you live—not as unwise but as wise, making the most of every opportunity, because the days are evil.”
