A lot of things have happened this week that have brought me to my knees in prayer. Simple things that I gave to the Lord because I didn't want to worry about them. I know my God is big and can and wants to handle every situation that I find myself facing. Some things I prayed about weren't even related to me but someone else asked me to pray for them...I am always eager to pray for others, but I can't tell you the Freedom that it gives me to know that I can offer every care and concern to my Lord and he hears them...
I received a fresh perspective from an older retired Nazarene minister on the 4th of July that I'd like to share with you. It was very simple, but so profound...
He asked me a question...
Do I want to be a thermometer or a thermostat?
Have you ever thought about this? I hadn't before...
A thermometer just takes the temperature
but a thermostat, SETs the temperature...
If I want to see the power of the Holy Spirit work in my life, then I need to be on fire for him. I need to be red hot and NOT luke warm...
If we walk into a room, we can affect those around us by setting the temperature... Don't just take the temperature... Change it... or don't...
I just thought I'd share this thought with you and see if it means anything to you like it did to me.
I'm going out to adjust a few thermostats around me....
Have a great week.
