God often works through His people to accomplish His will. One believer can help another person turn around a life; one believer can help an entire nation reverse its course. In each case, God works through one person whose life is surrendered to Him. Every believe has an important role to play in building God's kingdom. Whether God uses us to bring one or one million to Him, we must seek and follow His will. The believer who is yielded to God will have an impact for Him.
God explains through a prophet that Judah was suffering because of a long series of sinful choices that the leaders and people of the nation had made over a long period. God stated that the nations would indeed pay for its sins. But because Josiah's heart was tender, God promised his eyes would not see all the calamity which He would bring on Judah and its inhabitants. The final demise of the kingdom would not occur during Josiah's lifetime, because Josiah had tried to turn the nation around.
What a difference one person can make in our lives. We must as people who love God keep our eyes focused upon Him. Most people today don't think they can make a difference. In God's hands all things are possible. Many times things don't work out for us as we plan, sometimes we fail but in God's hands, failure isn't final. You're never without hope, Jesus loves you. Rev.
