Topic: Let Your Life Shine
Be an example of the believers in word, conversation, charity, spirit, faith, and purity. – 1 Timothy 4:12
One thing the world needs to see is good examples. They need to see believers walk in love, purity, and faith in their homes, schools, and businesses.
The Apostle Paul exhorts us in Romans 12:17 to live above reproach in the sight of all men. Other scriptures teach us to avoid all appearances of evil. So, when you go after God, don’t walk out on the edge, trying to see how much you can get by. Go all out in God’s direction. Conduct yourself in a way that will put to rest any question about whether or not you’re a Christian. Let the people around you see your love, faith, and purity in every situation.
Your example will go a lot further than your words. When our son, John, was a little boy, we spent time with my grandparents. John was sleeping with my granddaddy. He woke him up at night and said, “Pop, I have an earache. Would you pray for it?” My grandparents were raised in a church that didn’t believe in healing. I don’t know what Pop did, but it didn’t work. So, John just got up and said, “I’m going to go get in bed with my mother. When she prays, it stops hurting.” About 18 years later, Pop told me the story.
I had set an example of faith and love, and John remembered it. While your children are growing up, they might forget some of the sermons you’ve preached or act like they’re not interested in the things of God. But they’ll never forget your example.
Even at the place where you work, go to school, or just in your neighborhood, people might reject or argue with the words you say. But they’ll never refute or forget your acts of love.
Don’t let petty sins and spiritual compromises shadow your example. Live above reproach and let the light of Jesus shine brightly through you.
Scripture Reading: Romans 12:9-21

Ambydennis Notice Board: We trust you have been blessed by the devotional. Accepting Jesus as your Lord and personal savior is one of the best decisions one can take, especially you; imagine having Christ in your life; what a fantastic experience it will be. It starts here as you proclaim: Dear Father, I humbly come to you in sincere repentance, claiming you as my Lord and personal Saviour. Cleanse me from all unrighteousness, be the center of my life, and let my life revolve around you as I partake in the eternal life you gave us in Jesus' Name. Congratulations, you are now Born again. God bless you.
