“I used to ask God to help me. Then I asked if I might help Him. I ended up by asking God to do His work through me.”
Agents of Change
One night a woman dreamed that she was having a conversation with God.
She was angry about all the suffering and evil she saw around her, so she complained to the Lord, “Why don’t You do something about all this?”
God gently replied, “I did. I created you.”
God could send another flood as He did in Noah’s day to cleanse away the wickedness of the world.
He could, but He won’t. He has promised never to do that again (Genesis 9:11).
Instead He chooses to work through human beings like us, changing them then enabling them to function as His Agents of Change.
He changed Paul from a persecutor of the church to, “His witness to all men” (Acts 22:15). Paul’s life and letters taught, inspired, and comforted the church in its early days, and they still do today.
It was the power of God that changed Paul, then used him to change the world around him.
What about you?
Have you been transformed by the power of Jesus Christ?
Are you now obediently serving Him to change the lives of people around you?
