Matthew 5:6
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled.
I'm expected, as a follower of Christ, to be a world-changer. I'm expected to pursue righteousness and to live a life of maturity. In my observations of this dare, I recognize that too often I expect things in the world to change, but I am too much of the world and do not want me to change.
If I want to make a difference in the world, I have to be different from the world. God is calling me to come out and be separate...If I'm to make a difference in the world, I can't be looking like everyone else, pursuing the same pursuits.
If I were to pursue God and His righteousness, things would definitely be different. If my life is different, those who I have contact with will be affected. One by one, I would be changing the world.
My prayer today, in committing to this dare, is that God would help me to pinpoint areas in my life that need to be changed, help me to deny "self" and to pursue His righteousness. May I be different from the world so I can make a difference in the world!
In Jesus Name!
