Significant

*SIGNIFICANT/*SIGNIFICANCE

- The insignificant is significant (???). For example, when dieting, each insignificant 2nd helping or desert contribues to being over-weight; each snow flake contributes to an avalanche; each giving in to a temptation adds to our sin nature. (Randy)

- Living before the face of God means living all our life to his glory [by bringing goodness out of evil]. It means that the ordinary, the unspectacular, is imbued with significance. The proximate [close at hand] meaning may be shrouded, but we know that it has meaning ultimately because it gives him glory. It means seeing the immanent in terms of the transcendent, the transient in terms of the external, the proximate in terms of the ultimate. It means remembering that right now counts forever. (Vanity, p46)
