How’s Your Perspective? Day 33 – Light the World, Build the Kingdom Year 2

Whether we’re debating over politics or religion, or how things should run in a community or a family, most of us are like the story of the blind men and the elephant. Each “saw” the elephant through his own limited perspective. One said it was a fan, another a tree, another a wall, another a snake, another a rope. None of them were right, the truth was somewhere in the composite.

Most of the time, the challenges we face in our lives, families and society can only be solved when we see through multiple angles and perspectives — ideally through God’s eyes, because He is the only one who sees the full truth.

How the Challenge Works

Step 1: Ask God each day, “What is one thing I can do to light the world and build the kingdom today?”

Step 2: ACT upon whatever He leads you to do. Go through the day EXPECTING for opportunities to arise.

Step 3: Document somewhere — in your private journal or on your favorite social media platform.

Step 4: Share! If you share publicly, please use our hash tags: #BuildTheKingdom and #LightTheWorldNow so I can cheer you on! If you’re going to be documenting privately, I recommend sharing your experience with a close friend or accountability partner. There is power in the sharing.
