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 struck 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 what we do “in the light” are in the Hand of God. 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 God may choose to use something small to draw another soul to Himself. Stay faithful, and well-dressed!
