CONSEQUENCES
Is it possible to measure the consequences of someone’s actions? Dwight L. Moody recounted the following story:
“The parsonage at Epworth, England, caught fire one night, and all the residents were rescued except one son. The boy came to a window, and was brought safely to the ground by two farm-hands, one standing on the shoulder of the other. The boy was John Wesley.”
Can the consequences of that action be measured? How would this world have been different if Wesley had died in that fire? How many millions of Methodists today look back to John Wesley as the founder of their denomination? That might be a good measurement of the consequences of that one action centuries ago.
Only God can measure the consequences of your actions today. Make them count.
