[Difference Makers ls] Amazed by the Lord নমুনা

A Vast Difference

I am going to lead the Houston Texans' Chapel service. I am excited about it, but also humble. Let me tell you how keenly aware I am of the differences between me and the football players on the team. There is no thought in my mind that we are the same. When they sit down, they are much taller than I am. I cannot see past more than three rows, yet I am standing up and they are sitting down. The average weight of a lineman is 310 pounds; my weight is about as much as his leg. I am the femur. I am the leg of one of these people. 

When we have the chapel, they will come in and sit down. There won’t be any music nor any kind of singing. One of the coaches or probably the chaplain, will say, “We want to introduce Pastor Gregg. He is going to lead our chapel.” And I will ask myself, “What am I going to stand on to get them to see me?”

We are different. Vastly, vastly different. Let me tell you, those are just differences between people. But when you look at the difference between God and people, run to Jesus. 

I don't want to stand before a holy God to try to justify myself. I need Jesus to be my clothing so that when God sees me, He sees His son. God is holy, I am not. I can’t be saved through good works. I can only be saved by receiving the grace of Jesus Christ, praying, “Lord, I need you and I trust you. I need Christ—the Son of Man and the Son of God—to be in my heart, to be the difference maker.” 

Difference makers are amazed by the Lord. Praise God that you can have a relationship with Him, that He has a plan, and that He knows more of history than you do. See God for who He is. 

Am I amazed by God? Am I praising Him and walking with Him so He can make a difference in my life?
