Thermometer or Thermostat???


Do you know the difference between a thermostat and a thermometer? A thermometer merely tells what the temperature is in a particular area. If you thermometer reads seventy degrees and you place that thermometer in a room that is currently eighty degrees, the thermometer will change to register whatever the room temperature is. It won’t be long before the thermometer reads eighty degrees. It always adjusts to its environment.

The thermostat, however, adjusts the room temperature. If the thermostat is set at 70 degrees and the room is eighty degrees, the temperature of the room changes to conform to whatever the thermostat is reading. The room will become seventy degrees!

You live you life as either a thermostat or a thermometer. You can either blend in the crowd, or you can change the crowd. You are either influencing others or they are influencing you! You can make a difference in this world! As Jesus lives through you – you will be come that thermostat for change! As Jesus changes you from the inside out – you will become that thermostat for change!
