Some time ago the Baptist preacher Carlyle Marney quoted Herodotus as saying, “The greatest tragedy that could come to any person’s life is to aspire to do much and then to achieve little.” And Marney said, “No, that is not so. The greatest tragedy is to aspire to do something, and to do it, and then to discover it’s not worth doing.” There are a lot of people today who are wasting their time, energy, money, and efforts in things that aren’t worth doing. They are things that do not return to you that peace and satisfaction that ought to come in life. Because these people are not thinking in terms of service and sacrifice, life has no meaning.
