[James 3:3-5] “We can make a large horse go wherever we want by means of a small bit in its mouth …In the same way, the tongue is a small thing that makes grand speeches but a tiny spark can set a great forest on fire.”
“Little things achieved are better than big things planned” this statement is not to disregard planning for the future but rather to emphasise the necessity of time management in the present.
It is important to address the simpler tasks we get in life quickly so that we can see the bigger picture better. Someone once told me an analogy of when there is a little bee in a big room; until the bee is dealt with (hopefully in the most humane way possible) it is hard for one to concentrate.
Jesus is the pinnacle of our lives, whatever we do out of Him we do in vain. He leads and guides us in all we do. “For no one can lay any foundation other than the one we already have- Jesus Christ.” [1 Corinthians 3:11].
Going back to James 3, if we liken our lives to the large horse, and Christ as the bit it shows us to scale how struggle free our lives should be. His Word-the light-the bit is all we need to steer our life in the right direction.
So we root ourselves in the Word consistently and diligently, we believe it and we live it. We make sure the master is in control. However said control is not a big overwhelming force over us once again referring back to the scale of struggle free the control is from the small bit.
The more we deal with the little things in life the more natural our walk with Christ becomes; this way we are able to fully enjoy our lives and live it to the full.
