Louder than Words

Beseech you that ye walk worthy of the vocation wherewith ye are called.  Ephesians 4:1

 

Someone has wisely observed that the only Bible some people will ever read is the one they see demonstrated in the life of a Christian.

In other words, the way we live often speaks far louder than our words. People may tell us they don't believe the Bible--but they can't deny its power as they see it change our life, guide our decisions, and influence how we live.

What do people see when they look at you? Do they see someone whose life reflects Christ? Do they see in you the Christlike traits of love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control (Galatians 5:22-23)?

Ask God to rule in your heart and to remake you from within into the person He wants you to be. Then ask Him to help you be sensitive to those around you who may be successful on the outside, but inwardly are empty and confused, so that by your life and your words they may discover the joy and peace that come from knowing Christ.
