“A Little Bit of Something is Better Than All of Nothing” is a phrase I remember since early childhood. In theory, it sounds logical. I'd rather have a little piece of candy than none at all. Wouldn't we all (unless you're diabetic, allergic or something)?
But, in reality, that phrase has very little truth. Though we still believe in its merit, it really means to settle for second best.
So many times, people settle. They settle for mediocrity in their walk, less than prosperity in their finances, a second rate calling when they rejected the first. They settle for a church closer to home, friends that don't place too many restrictions on their lifestyle, a quick prayer instead of quality time with God. They choose the easy road, a low road, the path of least resistance.
As a result, they choose a life of few blessing and even fewer miracles. They choose to barely squeeze through Heaven's gate when they could walk a life of victory now. They choose to leave loved ones behind, to do everything the hard way, to live a life of heartache and despair. They choose to be their own God.
The truth is, a little bit of something isn't worth much at all.

Whether there be prophecies, they shall fail;whether there be tongues, they shall cease;whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.1 Cor. 13:8A Call to Unity of the Church
Knowing God's heart, verses following teachings of men,is the difference between victory and defeat.
