"For though we live in the world, we do not wage war as the world does." -II Corinthians 10:3 (NIV)
I was recently discussing how to address problems at work or in the world. In the discussions I talked about two people I know with very different approaches. One approach is to work and address problems from the "inside." A different approach is to dismantle and rebuild the entire system. While each may have its merits, we need to take the right approach!
We live in this world, even if only temporarily. As members of this world and followers of God, we need to work for God's Kingdom. There are times when we may need to work within the structures and systems of our society to make the appropriate changes. In other situations, God may call us to take apart and rebuild systems to reach His goals. While we may not engage in warfare in the traditional sense, we need to be prepared to follow God and make changes in this world for His glory and the good of His eternal Kingdom!
Follow God and work to better this world as you serve God!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank you for leading me. Help me to know when and how to make changes in this world for Your glory. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
