You Are the One

The power of one never underestimates its strength. One can make a difference in almost anything.

You and God make a majority. You’ve heard that before. Often, we forget it. When a person agrees with God, that is all it takes for Him to work. Whether it is spiritual history or secular history, it takes just one to make the deciding difference.

Abraham decided to obey God and leave the Ur of the Chaldees. So, the nation of Israel began.

Moses in self-exile obeyed God and led Israel from the persecution of Egypt. Israel was then able to occupy the land that God had promised Abraham. That is the land that they possess today.

God honored Hannah’s prayer for a child. That child, Samuel, was one of the most significant spiritual influences in Israel’s history.

One stone killed the giant Goliath and freed Israel from being conquered by the Philistines.

One woman, Ruth a Moabite, honored her mother-in-law and went to a foreign land, Israel.  She became part of Jesus genealogy.

In the New Testament, one young virgin who trusted God gave birth to the Savior. Her husband to be was the one man willing to pray and followed the Lord’s leadership to mentor the human side of our Savior.

Peter was the one willing to stand up and preach on the day of Pentecost.

John, the Apostle, was the one who when exiled to the Isle of Patmos wrote the book of Revelation

Jesus was the only one, the Begotten Son of God, who could pay the price for our sins. And He did.

Today, God is still using one person at a time to do His work in your community. All it takes is one to listen to God and then obey His instruction. The next time you say to yourself, I can’t do it. I don’t know how? Who am I? Surely God is not talking to me — they are just excuses. If God challenges your heart, then you are the one, the one who can make a difference for all eternity for someone.
