Moments of Hope: Change the Atmosphere

Jul 3, 2025

What if one simple shift could transform an entire space? This devotional begins with a surprising scene at a 7-Eleven in Tacoma, where classical music—Mozart and Beethoven—blasted across the parking lot, changing the mood, calming tensions, and even deterring crime. But this isn't just a story about music—it's a challenge to every believer. Drawing from Romans 12:21, “Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good,” we’re invited to consider the atmosphere we carry into the world. Are we amplifying anxiety or broadcasting grace? This one-page reflection will inspire you to stop masking problems and start transforming environments through the Spirit of Christ within you. It’s not about volume—it’s about presence. Change the atmosphere, and you just might change a life.
