Basketball analyst will tell you that great players make other players better around them. If the star on the team is playing at a high level, diving for the ball, and hustling down the court, it motivates the team to do the same.

If a basketball star can make other players better around them, shouldn’t we, being children of God, be able to make other people great around us? We all have a circle of people around us. We have our friends, family, and co-workers. If our circle sees us operating in the ways of God, it should motivate the people around us to do the same.

If our circle sees us believing God for a desire and sees that desire manifest, it should motivate some in our circle to believe God for their desires. If the people within our circle see us giving glory to God when something good happens, our circle should do the same. If people see us maintain our confidence and trust in God during difficult situations, it could encourage others around us to do the same.

Be the star on your team and allow the ways of God to be on public display for others to imitate. Our response to life will make our team better.

1 Corinthians 4:16 Therefore I urge you to imitate me.
