Do you know the difference between a thermostat and a thermometer? A thermometer merely tells what the temperature is in any particular area. If your thermometer reads 70° and you place that thermometer in a room that is currently 80°, the thermometer will change to register whatever the room temperature is. It won’t be long before the thermometer reads 80°. It always adjusts to its environment. The thermostat, however, adjusts the room temperature. If the thermostat is set at 70° and the room is at 80°, the temperature of the room changes to conform whatever the thermostat is reading. The room will become 70°. You live your life either as a thermostat or a thermometer. You can either blend into the crowd, or you can change the crowd. You are either influencing others or they’re influencing you. Jesus calls us to be thermostats, actually, since they didn’t have thermostats in Bible times, Jesus used the term salt and light. To communicate that we are to be agents of change in this world, Matthew 5:13. You be a thermostat today and change the world. God bless you, Captain Ken Chapman.
