Your Open Word e-Devotional for December 31st

Published: Sun, 12/31/17

 Hello ,


A certain courthouse in Ohio stands in a unique location. Raindrops that fall on the north side of the building go into Lake Ontario and the Gulf of St. Lawrence, while those falling on the south side go into the Mississippi River and the Gulf of Mexico. At precisely the point of the peak of the roof, just a gentle puff of wind can determine the destiny of many raindrops. It will make a difference of more than 2,000 miles as to their final destination. 

The spiritual application is clear. By the smallest deed or choice of words we might set in motion influences that could change the course of others' lives here and now and could also affect their eternal destiny.

What an amazing thought, that our words and deeds can have such an impact on others!  It's something to dwell on as we head into this new year tomorrow.  The scriptures are clear that we should do unto others as we would have them do us.  

How will you make an impact in others lives in 2018?  How will your spiritual walk with God impact you? Let me challenge you to take a few moments to contemplate these questions.  They are worth our consideration.

Have a great day and God bless!



Pastor Mike / The Open Word
