John 4:19 – 41
One life equals hundreds
One of the statements I hear often is, “What have I really done to make a difference?” I believe one of the biggest tricks of the enemy of our souls is to convince us that our lives are worthless, that we are not having any impact. The key is always simply to do what God has called you to do. If you do that then you can rest assured that you are having exactly the impact God is expecting you to have.
Jesus stopped to talk with one woman. It is obvious that Jesus had no problem speaking to large crowds. The key is that Jesus always did what He saw the Father doing. It is not about doing big things only; it is about doing what God has called you to do. Obedience is better than any sacrifice you can do. God is not looking for big gestures, but simple obedience.
Jesus could have gone into town and performed many miracles to show everyone he was the Messiah. Instead, He was obedient to the Father, sat down by a well and spoke to one woman. Sounds simple but it was the most important things He could do at that moment. The woman had the greatest impact anyone could expect, the entire town turned to Jesus. One life, a few minutes of obedience turned into hundreds coming to Christ.
What is the one thing the Lord wants you to do today. It may not be something that anyone will see in this life but is exactly what the Lord has for you to do that will impact more lives than you can imagine. Could you be kind to an older person today, would you help with children’s church, or the church kitchen today, maybe it is simply praying with one person. Whatever it is no matter how big or small if you are being obedient to the Lord you will change the world.
Be a blessing today, listen to that gentle voice from the Lord and do what He asks you to do. Whatever it is may change hundreds of lives or it could simply change one that will change hundreds.
Today is you day! Just do it for the Lord
