Thermostats or Thermometers?

A thermostat sets the temperature in a room. Because of its work, the entire environment of a room can change in a minute, becoming hotter or colder. A thermometer measures the temperature of its surrounding. It is changed by its environment, measuring higher or lower depending on the temperature.

As Christians, we are the light of the world. Our light should not be hidden, but should be shown to illuminate and change our environments. People should be able to see our good works, and glorify our Father, Who is in heaven. (Matthew 5:14-16)

Romans 12:2 says that we are not to be conformed to, or become like, the world. We should rather be transformed by the renewing of our minds, so that we would be able to prove the good, acceptable, and perfect will of God.

Because of Christ in our lives, our presence should set the tone/atmosphere of the world around us, rather than it directing or controlling us. We should not become like those in the world, but they should become more like us. They should be able to imitate us, as we imitate Christ.

Let us be thermostats, and not thermometers, for our Lord.
