WHAT CAN ONE PERSON DO?

I have heard “What can one person do?” so many times, so today I will address it.

What can one person do? Let’s look at the scriptures and see.

David was a giant killer. He did it by himself. He was ridiculed by his brothers and probably they hated him; yet it didn’t stop him from bringing down a giant because he trusted in God and not in family or his own strength.

Joseph saved the nation of Egypt and also saved his people from starvation and destruction. Yes, he was hated by his brothers and sold as a slave. Yes, he was betrayed by Potiphar’s wife. Yes, he was in prison, but he never stopped believing God. He had God on his side. He held no bitter, revengeful spirit against his brothers. In fact, Genesis 45:8 says, “So now it was not you that sent me hither, but God: and he hath made me a father to Pharaoh, and lord of all his house.” He trusted God.

There are so many instances in scripture where the walk was a lonely walk. Look at Job, Isaiah, Jeremiah, Daniel and more. They were persecuted, but they did not lose faith. They trusted God.

What can one person do? You do what God has called you to do. What has he called you to do? He has called you to be faithful with little, or with much, and use it for his kingdom.

We each are called to shine God’s light through us. That light can reach a lost soul. It can comfort a Christian that has lost a loved one, and it can be found in that faithful person when this life is over.

Whether God has called you to be that isolated one on one witness to a person, or be the voice that leads thousands, we must be found faithful. That is what one person can do!
