Be an Impact Player

Our culture is filled with icons and heroes, men and women who in some way have impacted our worlds—from baseball legend Babe Ruth, to basketball star Michael Jordan, to corporate giants Henry Ford and Steve Jobs, and heroes of faith like Billy Graham and Lottie Moon, the famous missionary to China. These people left their mark in this world.

Often, we are so mesmerized by these larger-than-life figures that the thought of our lives having the same lasting impact is beyond what we can imagine. But, do you know that is precisely what God wants to do with your life? Just like with King David, who we read about in today’s passage, God has an unimaginable, supernatural purpose for our lives!

From the example of David's life, we discover God specializes in taking ordinary people and doing extraordinary things through their lives. All it requires is a willing heart to yield our own dreams and agendas to God's perfect plan for us. When we submit our plans and aspirations to our Heavenly Father, we will always be delightfully surprised to discover His dreams for us are greater and more significant than our own.

Becoming an impact player begins when we realize God has created within each of us the potential for greatness. When we walk with Him and surrender to His purposes, this potential is molded into the kind of character and ability God uses to make a difference in our world. Come on, swing for the fence! You may just hit a home run!

As you engage with God’s word:

●What is God saying to you?

●What does it mean to you?

●What action step do you need to take?

After you reflect on these questions, bring everything to God in prayer.
