Well-Dressed

A tour group passed through a particular room in a factory. They saw a bar of steel weighing five hundred pounds, vertically suspended by a chain. Near it, an average-size cork was suspended by a silk thread. The tour guide said, "You're about to see something seemingly impossible. This cork is going to set this steel bar in motion!" She took the cork in her hand, pulled it only slightly to the side of its original position, and released it. The cork swung gently against the steel bar, which remained motionless. For ten minutes the cork, with pendulum-like regularity, struck the iron bar. Finally, the bar vibrated slightly. By the time the tour group passed through the room an hour later, the great bar was swinging like the pendulum of a clock!

We often feel we aren't having much of an influence on the lives of our children, neighbors, co-workers, friends, and family.  Not so!  We just don't realize how powerful the overall influence of God's Goodness on others when we walk in His Light.  Romans 13:13-14 says, "Let us behave decently, as in the daytime ... clothe yourselves with the Lord Jesus Christ."  As you go about your day, remember just a smile can warm a heart and draw someone to Jesus.
