Ripple Effect

-Drew Blackston

'At that moment the curtain in the sanctuary of the Temple was torn in two, from top to bottom. The earth shook, rocks split apart, and tombs opened. The bodies of many godly men and women who had died were raised from the dead. They left the cemetery after Jesus’ resurrection, went into the holy city of Jerusalem, and appeared to many people.' Matthew 27:51-53

The resurrection power of GOD has a ripple effect. Just like when Jesus was raised from the grave and the power had a ripple effect across the rest of the graveyard, when GOD resurrects something in your life, there is a ripple effect. 

When GOD restores a relationship, the ripple effect is seen. Other relationships are restored because of the example of your resurrection. When your body is miraculously healed, there is a ripple effect. Your story and your example have a ripple effect on others that are hurting or going through something. When GOD provides financially for you in a way only He can, there is a ripple effect. Others see the way GOD provided in your life and begin to believe He can do the same in theirs. Our entire life is one big ripple effect of the grace of GOD. Just like in water you can’t stop a ripple, our lives should constantly be testifying of the ripples of GOD. 

Make an effort today to be a ripple in your home, neighborhood, community, and city. Let your light shine because of the light that He first shined on you. Allow the ripples of GOD to resurrect the lives of those you come into contact with. You never know who GOD might bring into your life who needs a "resurrection."
