The Impact Formula

It's an interesting thing about community... you might not be able to change what happens on a big scale, perhaps never, and certainly, not overnight. But that shouldn't for a minute, prevent us from living with eyes open about how we can change what happens in our sense of community.

Perhaps it's making a change in your neighborhood or the town local to you.
Perhaps it's making an impact through your church.

Change and blessing occurs when one is in a position to help the one who happens to be living with a need.

Opportunity + need = impact.

There's always lots to do. There's always something that will beg for your attention or something that will desire to distract your attention. This is the difference between the person who gets stuff done versus the person who delays getting stuff done. (says the guy typing who greatly struggles with the latter)

Do you know what to do?
Then why are not you doing it?

Spoken by all of our father's at one time and for the younger among us, now sounding more like our fathers every day.

Also, two questions often posed by our Heavenly Father, daily to each one of us?

So, on this #communitySaturday, pray that we would answer His question. As we witness the opportunity to impact and change our world, globally, and locally, for the cause of Christ, may God give us direction for what He would have us to do when the answer is not obvious. Pray that we would be people of diligence, that would actually do it, when prompted. Pray that God would help us move towards greater positions of health and strength so that there will be less that stands in the way when God says, this is what I have you do for these people.

Prepared for every opportunity
To be used of God
With nothing holding us back
Making an eternal impact
For the kingdom of God.
