Lightning

I hear a lot of people complain about things but they end up doing very little other than complain. Complaining has never accomplished much more than wasting good air. Oh, don't get me wrong, I have done my share of complaining, probably more than most. But, I'm beginning to learn (I am a slow learner) that complaining is like thunder, it's just a noise. It is the lightning that gets something done.

So, how do we create lightning? Well, lightning is a natural electrical discharge of high intensity and short duration. In my layman's terms, lightning is atoms doing something - working. So, we can sit here and complain and make a lot of noise (thunder) or, we can get up and create some energy (lightning).

Today's word is 2 John 1:6, NIV, which reads, "And this is love: that we walk in obedience to His commands. As you have heard from the beginning, His command is that you walk in love."

We are to walk in obedience to GOD'S commands; that is action. We can sit around and talk about GOD and how people should live their lives, or we can go out in this world and show people what a godly life looks like. People are going to take more notice of what we do than what we say (I know it sounds like a continuation of previous posts). The fact is, though, that it's not about the noise we create; it's about the energy we exchange towards others.

I want to walk in His commands. I want to walk in love. I want others to see my feeble attempts at displaying GOD'S love more than merely talking about it. Thunder makes a lot of noise; lightning can change things.

Be Blessed,
