Just Give Me A Minute
"It'll only take a minute."
"I'll be there in a minute."
"I'll be done in a minute."
"This will only take a minute of your time."
"I'll be done in a minute."
"This will only take a minute of your time."
When you use these phrases and others like it you are acknowledging the power of a minute!
60 seconds may not seem like that long (until you try holding a plank or a wall-sit), but you can actually end up accomplishing a LOT when you invest one minute consistently over time.
This is called the Compound Effect. When you consistently invest small amounts of time, energy, talent, work, attention, etc. You will notice BIG changes over time.
However, it's often not the activity that's hard...it's the consistency.

Take reading for example.
Do you wish you would read more books?
Do you struggle at the thought of reading one book a month?
But if i asked you if you could read 20 pages, that's no problem, right?
That's an easy goal...or see it seems. You see...
Reading 20 pages is not hard.
Doing 20 push-ups is not hard.
Saving $20 is not hard.
Spending 20 minutes to call a friend is not hard.
These are all simple, small investments.
The challenge is the commitment to little investments every single day. Do you realize that if you committed to reading 20 pages every single day, you will have read 600 pages in one month!?!

Small investments + Consistency + long period of time = BIG RESULTS.
That's the compound effect.
That's why I started posting on this website. I hope you all desire to spend more than one minute reading the Bible, but it's a great start and a worthy investment!

The Word of God is like a mirror. We must use this mirror to examine ourselves.
Calvin Dillard
It only takes a minute to look in the mirror to see the different parts of your body or clothes that needs fixed or adjusted before you take on the day!
Likewise, it only takes a minute to nourish your soul with an encouragement from God's Word...a slice of that Daily Bread!
