I happen to be a leader who believes in the power of a moment.
A single moment in the presence of God can alter a destiny and rock the world.
I hear something almost every day that reinforces that reality.

I read a card today from a thankful mother.  Her son had been far from God for many years.  She reminded me about one line in a sermon I preached this summer.  (I don’t even remember saying it like she said I said it…hmmm…)
The Holy Spirit used this one sentence to draw the kid back to Christ.
It sparked a sequence of spiritual steps in his life, and apparently, he’s preparing for mission work in Africa now.
That all began because of the power of a moment.

Don’t minimize the magnitude of a moment if you’re:

• Standing up to preach Sunday

• Leading a small group in your home Tuesday

• Leading God’s people in worship through music this weekend

• Engaging a difficult conversation that God has been prompting you about for a while

• Coming up on an opportunity to encourage someone who’s on the edge of disillusionment

• Disciplining your children consistently when it would be easier to let them run wild

• Forgiving an offense that feels unforgivable

• Praying for a breakthrough that seems complicated and out of reach

Significant change takes time.  But it’s often ignited in a moment.
Don’t underestimate the uniqueness of your moment.  Make it matter.
