For One

How many of us tend to overlook one? You see that introvert at work, but tend to keep it moving. You see that one person always standing around the corner store, but find yourself ignoring the person. How about that one friend who has the same issue with their relationship that in your mind you just say yeah, yeah to? One, a number we tend to think about when we want to be on top. Whether it be in business, entertainment, or sports; everybody wants to be number one. Yet how does God view the number one?

Selah

The town of Sarepta was experiencing famine in the land due to its rebellion. Yet God sent the prophet Elijah to bless one widow so she can be satisfied in the midst of a famine. Remember this widows! Jesus had risen and the disciples informed Thomas of what they witness. Yet because of Thomas inner pain, he didn’t believe. Jesus came back just for Thomas to help his unbelief. Jesus was faced with an agony that we will never comprehend or feel when he was nailed to the cross. Nevertheless, he took the time out in the midst of him bearing the sins of the world to reach a soul crying out to him. One, a number that in my opinion God views totally different from men.

1 John 4:17 shares as He is, so are we…

So instead of looking at the number one from a carnal view, let’s begin to look at it from God’s view. You never know of that one soul that God grants the opportunity to share the gospel, be an encouragement, or even bless with a need. Let’s use those one moments we can find ourselves in to build God’s kingdom! I don’t know about you, but I am grateful for a time that God viewed me as for one!
