Make a difference today

Spent some time yesterday listening to Mark Batterson, an awesome pastor from the DC Metro area. If you get a chance check his blog out.

Anyway, I woke this morning thinking on what I could do to make a difference in the the world, as well as my little corner of it. You know the Pete Seeger statement I have quoted before: Think Globally, act locally. With all the negative that floats around, it's a wonder we have any desire to get out of bed. Jesus never focused on the negative. He saw an issue and spoke about how it could be fixed with and through God the Father. He suffered more than any man ever has and marched toward his destiny.

Paul from the time he was called on the Damascus road, he was "shown how much he must suffer for my (Jesus) name". Acts 9:16 Yet he rejoiced in all of it for the rest of his days. I learned something as I lay in bed this morning; whiners don't change the world. Winners do!

Be a winner today. That's my goal. Find where God is working around you and join him. Look for solutions where others give up. Find a way to show the gospel in lived out action.
