Mark Rushdoony’s piece, in our current Arise & Build newsletter, offers wisdom.

For instance, “Addressing our national debt and fiat money is not within our reach as individuals but getting out of debt is. This small step can empower you now.” You may not be able to do the really big things; but doing what you can do is important, too.
Even more succinctly: “Our part of the future is the mess in front of us.” And really, that ought to be a big enough mess for anyone.
Often enough our part in God’s plan seems small and insignificant. But that’s how it seems to us, not Him. Only God sees the whole picture; and His hand is always on the tiller.
I like Mark’s way of putting it: put your heads done and get to work. This reminds me of the old “Dobey Gillis Show” where the beatnik character, Maynard, would get all agitated any time someone mentioned the word work. Just as Jesus told His disciples to row across the Galilee to the other side, and a dangerous storm arose while He slept, but Jesus rebuked the storm and they arrived at the other side just as He told them, so Jesus also told us the Great Commission and it will be fulfilled no mater how many storms history encounters. Believing this is faith.
Wise words.
