Are you a thermostat or a thermometer? A thermostat sets the temperature whereas a thermometer goes up and down depending on what the temperature is. Are you controlled by the circumstances around you? Do your moods go up and down depending on your circumstances? If you answered 'yes' to these two questions then you are a thermometer.
As Christians, we are not to allow our circumstances to control us but to keep our focus on the Lord. Being a thermostat is not always good either. You can be a thermostat where you set the mood of the room, but is that mood good or bad? You can set the mood with either a good or negative tone. What influence do you have over the people around you. My friend, there are some circumstances in life that we simply cannot change; however, we can choose how we respond to those circumstances.
Allow Christ to be the thermostat in your life so you can be a light and encouragement to those around you.
