Concentric Circles


In Geometry, concentric circles are defined as circles that have the same center point. You can create concentric circles by tossing a rock into a pond. After the rock hits the water, ripples or waves form and flow out from the center. These circles grow larger as they continue flowing away from the center. This is precisely what happens during a tsunami. The waves from a tsunami can travel up to 500 miles per hour and thousands of miles from the center. These waves travel out in all directions with incredible energy. I guess we will never forget the tsunami of 2004 that killed thousands of people. The power created by these concentric circles is unbelievable!


When we put Jesus in charge and at the center of our lives, many things change for the better. We become happier, live more peacefully, and gain tons of hope. Like ripples on a pond, these changes flow out from us in all directions and have the power to change others. Have you ever known someone who had such an electric personality that you were drawn to them? You can also have that kind of personality that draws people to you. And when people are drawn to you, they will see Christ as the reason. Just toss the Solid Rock that is our Savior into the center of your life. The ripples that result can be very powerful!


Proverbs 3:6 says, "In all thy ways, acknowledge Him and he shall direct thy path."


Father, I am proud to have You at the center of my life. I ask you to help me win souls for Your Kingdom, according to Your perfect will. In Jesus name, Amen.

  1. I love this post. It really speaks to my heart. I am closer to God than I have ever been. He has been doing amazing things in my life and the lives of my family during the past year, and I believe I have Him in the center of my life, but there is one area of my life that had a problem two weeks ago, and we will be entering that area again in a couple of days. I hope that truly having Jesus as the center of my life will help others to be drawn to me in this area and that certain problems would simply dissolve.

    Thanks for the post.
