The ten lepers, The 3 servants with the talents, Peter walking on water, David and Goliath. David taking over the throne of King Saul. Joshua and Caleb and the rest of the spies who went and scouted the promise land. Noah's Ark.
I begin to ask God, what is the difference between them and the others in their time and age.
Then God, being the cool God, answered, 'the difference between them is different.'
To the flesh, Its like 'duh...' but in the spirit, its wow!
I went back and went to my trusty website, www.biblegateway.com and searched on the word 'different' and see what I have got.
"But because my servant Caleb has a different spirit and follows me wholeheartedly, I will bring him into the land he went to, and his descendants will inherit it."
-Numbers 14:24
"The Spirit of the LORD will come upon you in power, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person."
1 Samuel 10:6
-Numbers 14:24
"The Spirit of the LORD will come upon you in power, and you will prophesy with them; and you will be changed into a different person."
1 Samuel 10:6
Its the kind of difference that stands out. The leper who returned to give thanks, he choosed to be different and broke away from the crowd. He choosed to break away from the nine other lepers and became totally healed, physically, emotionally and spiritually. The different attitude that he has made him gained smth more.
By breaking away from the crowd of 9 lepers, he got smth that is eternal.
What the 9 lepers got is physical healing.
Physical healing will not last forever,
One day, their body cells will still breakdown. The nine lepers will still die.

So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

-1 Cor 4:18
However, in choosing to be different, the one leper has gained smth that is eternal, his salvation. This really reminds us to be different from others.
Hang out with turkeys, you will never soar like an eagle.
Fly with eagles and you will always be encouraged to soar with them.
