History Makers

As we go about the day to day, I want to encourage you to realize the divine nature of our very existence. You might be going through it on the 9-5, facing some stressful situations, or even getting tired of what seems to be ‘the same old, same old.’ Regardless of where you are, realize that we are still ‘a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, His own special people…’ Never forget that he called us out of darkness and into his marvelous light so that we could show forth His praises (1 Peter 2:9-10). Jake Hamilton from Jesus Culture said it well in his one of his songs: because of who we are, we will 'shape history.' Our responsiblity is to continue in His word and become who He’s called us to be through the work of Holy Spirit. Allow each day to be extraordinary simply because of who God has made you; you are a new creation (2 Cor. 5:17). With all of this considered, today and everyday, choose to be a history maker for the Kingdom of God.
