Feb 2nd, 2024: Seeking Improvement

Kaizen involves focusing on small improvements. At times, we get frustrated with what seems like a lack of progress in our lives and desire significant improvements. The ultimate outcome of godliness is based on our obedience in numerous small decisions.

Perfection in life can be an illusion as it's unattainable. Despite this, many of us stress over it. Seeking improvement is acknowledging that perfection can only be realized through God's grace. Living with the belief that perfection is personally possible leads to constant disappointment.

Consider how we start each day with purpose and a meaningful commitment to God. It doesn't guarantee a smooth day, but it helps us gain energy and excitement for what God has in store. The way we begin our day often influences the day's outcome. Practicing thankfulness might be a good idea.

"but those who hope in the Lord

    will renew their strength.

They will soar on wings like eagles;

    they will run and not grow weary,

    they will walk and not be faint." - Isaiah 40:31
