The Power of One: How One Person Can Make a Difference

It can be said that we are more powerful together, and if we were honest, there is truth to that statement. Much can be accomplished when there is unity and a willingness to work together on a variety of things.

Although there is great strength in numbers, there is also something powerful about the voice and boldness of one person who is willing to stand out and be different from everyone else.

There are times throughout history when someone took a stand, voiced their concerns, and made it clear: “Something just needs to change here. There has to be another way!”

So, let’s consider this together as we examine this moment. Let’s take a moment to discuss “The Power of One.”

I don’t feel the need to mention names or specific examples because, by now, I believe some examples have already come to mind for you, if you are willing to be honest. The need to be a voice is something we can find throughout our lifetime. There are individuals who are willing to stand up and make their concerns known in a variety of ways. Sometimes, they become the beginning of change, even if they never get to see the full impact of what they started.

There comes a point when you simply have to believe God and trust that you need to open your mouth and express the need for change. It is a quality to be admired and a strength that is not easily found.

You see, when you have a group mentality, it can be easy to feel strong because there is a sense that together, we can conquer anything. But we should also consider that there can be a supernatural work taking place when you are the one person being led to make a stand or say something when no one else has—or will.

The truth is, we may have to walk by faith and depend on God’s supernatural ability and strength when we step into an uncharted path, especially when we are attempting to bring about change.

Time waits for no one, and change does not happen simply because we wish for it or hope someone else will eventually do something about it.

So, I would like to ask you: Are there things you feel you cannot do anything about because you are just one person?

Consider this: You can do something by letting others know whom you trust and sharing what concerns you. Begin by brainstorming in prayer and asking God how your voice can impact those around you—and perhaps even the world—simply because you were willing to open your mouth.

Remember, if something has been placed on your heart, there may be a reason for it.

You may be surprised by what can happen when you step outside of your comfort zone and allow God to lead you as you seek His will and His plans. You don’t have to figure everything out at once. Sometimes, you simply need to take the next step, and then another.

There are some things you may need to remain in prayer about. There are other things where you can begin to be the change around you by becoming a voice for those around you.

Let me hear your story.

Have you ever felt, “I am only one person. How can I make a difference?” Have you ever felt inadequate to do anything about a situation that concerned you?

Sometimes, change begins in those uncomfortable moments when we realize that something needs to be different. It may not happen all at once. It may happen one thing at a time.

Don’t be led by your emotions. Take it to God in prayer and allow Him to lead you in the way of peace, one step at a time.

Keep in mind that sometimes you will do things afraid. But that is part of what living by faith is about.

Although you may feel alone in the beginning, you may be amazed to discover how many others were simply waiting for someone to speak up. Your willingness to stand may give someone else the courage to do the same.

You may be the one who was needed for everything to begin.

That is the Power of One.

Take a moment. Examine this moment. What has God placed on your heart that may require you to be the one willing to speak, stand, or take the first step?

Don’t let anyone or anything make you believe you are stuck.

There is always another way.
Keep pressing on and find it.
