I just watched the movie Amazing Grace, about the abolition of slave trade in Great Britain in the late 1700’s. The main character William Wilberforce, a politician, goes through this phase where he’s completely captivated by God, and all of His amazing creations. He considers leaving politics all together to follow God and be completely consumed by Him.
His childhood preacher was a former salve ship captain and was actually the writer of the song Amazing Grace. Wilberforce goes to visit him and essentially the question is proposed why can’t he serve both God and his country through his political career…to make changes for God by using his political power. Essentially, though with great struggle this is what Wilberforce does.
This inspires me greatly, and should be inspirational to anyone who does their daily work outside of church walls. God’s work is done anywhere and everywhere. Every aspect of life needs individuals with hearts on fire for God.
