Make the Difference

 

1 Peter 4:17 - For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begins at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 

If you are wondering why the world and the church are in such a mess today, we can trace the problem to the fact that many believers don’t see why knowing God and doing His will are that important. Many Christians actually comprehend so little about the Lord that they couldn’t fill one side of a sheet of paper with facts about Him. And even if they could, they couldn’t tell you how those facts apply to their lives, circumstances, or relationship with Him. If they go to Him, it is with a list of requests rather than to know the One who created them and glorify Him.

But you can make a difference. You can know God. You can become so closely acquainted with Him that you can perceive how He is moving in your life and do His will in the world. You may think, Oh, that’s just for pastors, preachers, missionaries, and evangelists. But no, it is not. This kind of close relationship is His will for you. The Lord answers whoever will seek Him and reveals Himself to those who long to know Him. And He wants to work through you. So, spend time with Him in the Word and prayer, and let Him change the world and the church through you.
