Who is going to harm you if you are eager to do good?
But even if you should suffer for what is right, you are blessed.
'Who is going to harm
you if you are eager to do good? But even if you should suffer for what is
right, you are blessed.
'Do not
fear what they fear; do not be frightened.' But in your hearts set apart Christ
as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you
to give the reason for the hope that you have.But do this with gentleness
and respect, keeping a clear conscience, so that those who speak maliciously
against your good behavior in Christ may be ashamed of their slander. It is
better, if it is God's will, to suffer for doing good than for doing
evil. 1 Peter 3:13-17
Are you
ready? What are you ready for... work, shopping, vacation, dinner or
your everyday activities? Possibly you are anticipating a move, the
birth of a child, the death of a loved one, the empty nest, or just a change in
the weather. Life is constantly changing. Planning is a vital part of the
process.
But, are
you really ready... ready for the daily opportunities God
gives to share the message of Christ? Are you prepared to love and serve Him
with all your heart, soul, mind and strength, even when you don't feel like it?
When someone recognizes your joy in the midst of a difficult situation, do you
glorify Jesus with your answer? Asking God to prepare you is important to
living every moment sold out to Jesus.
I love this verse... But in your
hearts set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an
answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.
(1 Peter 3:15) A believer's answer to the question, "Are you ready?"
should always be like this picture... YES! We are living, breathing testimonies
of a new creation in Jesus. Reflecting Him to the world around us should be our
hearts desire. Recognizing it is not about us, but all about Him changes us and
in turn affects others around us.
·
Pray...
Prayer keeps us intimately connected to the Lord. It keeps our hearts tuned to
Him. Learning to live in constant communication with God readies us for what
lies ahead.
·
Observe...
We need to open our eyes to the God-incidences throughout the day... those
moments where God gives us the opportunity to share the truth and message
of Jesus to others.
·
Act...
Let's get going! After constant prayer and recognition of an
opportunity, when God opens the door, step though to share the realness of
Jesus with others.
