Ripples for God's Kingdom

9/19/2014

"Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others." -Philippians 2:3-4 (NASB)
The impact of our lives can be compared to a pebble tossed into a lake.  The pebble and its initial impact may be small compared to the lake, but the pebble creates ripples spreading out and disrupting the calm surface of the water.  When it comes time to make decisions, it may be easy for us to think about what is best for us personally, but we must also consider the ripples of our decisions!

We need to be aware of the impact of our decisions outside of our personal "bubble".  Our decisions can affect our lives, our families and friends, and even people we don't know! When we approach decision making, we should do so with God's guidance and humility. God's will is always the best decision and we need to be humble enough to listen and follow His direction!

Follow God's will and let your decisions create ripples that expand His Kingdom! 


Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your guidance. Help me to always be humble and listening to Your direction so that I can be a positive influence for Your Kingdom. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
