You sit down with your favorite hot beverage, ready to write your blog post, only to find that it’s already written. You look at the blinking cursor and the words on the page and realize that during the night, God himself wrote your post.
What do you suppose the Lord would write? The eleventh commandment? A call for world peace? Would He demand something? Explain something? Promise something?
I don’t know. All I know is that whatever He wrote, it would be important. His words would be magnificent and would change the world forever.
I also know that anything you or I might write will never be that good, or that important.
What we write isn’t unimportant. We inform and inspire people. We help them gain clarity and make better decisions. But while we might like to think so, our blog posts and articles aren’t earth-shattering or history-making.
Most people will read what we write, learn something, smile or groan, and get on with their day.
So, if you haven’t written a blog post lately, if you’re on your 27th edit, if you’re searching for the perfect words for your perfect message, stop all that fussing, publish that sucker, and get on with your day.
Your worlds won’t change the world, although they might change the life of someone who reads them.
But don’t think about that or you’ll never get the thing done.
