My word for October 22nd is INSPIRATION!

My word for October 22^nd 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.
