"Whatever you have learned or
received or heard from me,
or seen in me—put it into practice.
And the God of peace will be with you."
(Philippians 4:9)

There are almost 300 million people in America and billions worldwide. As
individuals we are not statistically significant overall. But we all know that
statistics can be manipulated and are often misrepresented. Certainly within
our Christian faith, each of us is significant to God. In many of Paul’s
letters he advised that "God will be with you". I will add;
personally, up front and close.
As statistically insignificant as the mathematicians make us, God gives us meaning, power and faith. We are the power of one. As Christians, we can impact the world one individual at a time through our faith. When we demonstrate that we are at peace, we infect those around us. When we demonstrate good Christian ethics, we lead others to follow us. When we are at peace, others want to join us.

We all know of pyramid schemes and chain letters. We have an opportunity
through our faith to be at the top of a living chain. Each day we are at peace
through our faith we will positively affect our environment. Our challenge as
people of faith is to work our peace so others will join us.
Thought for Today: It is challenging but
exciting to think that we can affect others with our positive actions. This
week let us consider others and by example, share our hope a regarding our
future.
Prayer: Heavenly Father we see and hear ugliness in the world on a daily
basis. The mid-east is in turmoil, many of our streets are not safe and there
are too many negative financial issues within our institutions. It is hard to
understand where you are when we are bombarded daily with these issues. We pray
for understanding of your role and that we may participate in an overall
solution.
Amen
Amen
