Environment Matters

Environment Matters

Of the many factors that influence our lives, few, if any, are as impactful as our environment. The environment is defined as the surroundings which provide the conditions in which we operate. We are in many ways the product of our environment. 

A healthy environment allows us to thrive, while an unhealthy environment causes negative consequences. Some environmental factors are not in our control, but we are never without options. We can choose our thoughts, we can choose our friends, and we can choose our habits.

If we believe the Lord has a good plan and purpose for our lives, then we must also trust that he can and will provide the proper environment in which his will can develop and occur. There are always positive and negative influences moving around us, but we can decide in which environment we are going to dwell. We must be diligent in choosing the proper environment, because our environment matters.

A seed contains great potential to grow and bear fruit. Everything needed to fulfill its' destiny is already present within the seed. The one thing that will determine its' outcome is the environment. The seed may be planted and nurtured into a healthy maturity, or the seed may never become what it might have been, because the environment wasn't right. 

That's what Empower NBCA School of Ministry is all about, creating an environment in which God's plan and purpose for you can come alive. If you've been wondering about God's plan for your life, check us out. Because environment matters.
