My word for October 22nd is INSPIRATION
What does it mean to be an inspiration or be inspired? There are several definitions, however
the one that I like the most is divine guidance. So the question can be turned into who has given you divine guidance?
Olsten’s book, “LOVE YOUR
LIFE“, tells a story of a young student, Sam, who would always write a
scripture on the board at school.
This went on for a very long period of time. One of his friends was inspired by him and asked him if he would
take him to church. Because of Sam
writing scripture, another young man began attending church on a regular basis
and ended up preaching to thousands of people. This young man was John Osteen. Sam also became a preacher. Sam didn’t preach to thousands, but he didn’t
care. He inspired John. Whether you touch one person or
thousands you are important.
I can’t choose just one thing that has inspired me. There are a multitude of things that
have pushed me to be the person I am today. It may be because of a person, it may be because of a
situation, or it may just how I thought at a particular moment. More than who has inspired me it is
more important to me as to who I inspire.
Even if you just reach one person in life you have made a
difference. Work towards giving
others the divine guidance that they need to be strong. Allow God to lead you in giving
inspiration to all of those who you come in contact with.
We must always remember to let God inspire us and give us
divine guidance. There is always a way to be lifted
up by walking your journey with Him.
When things are looking bleak and everything seems impossible turn to
Him. God will make the unsurvivable
survivable. He will lead you
to those who need to be inspired and He will lead you to those when you need
inspiration. Be inspired and be an
inspiration.
2 Timothy 3:16
King
James Version (KJV)
16 All scripture is
given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for
correction, for instruction in righteousness:
Dear God thank You for Your divine guidance and inspiration. Help us to be an inspiration to those
who need us. We know that we can
turn to You and Your word anytime we need to be inspired. We are blessed by You and what You have
in store for us.
