COL 3:17 NIV
And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.
Today's piece encourages us to watch everything our lives produce. We are encouraged to keep in front of us the consciousness that God's name is at stake when his children act and anything we do is viewed from the point of view that we ought to know better. And indeed, we ought to know better. God has taught and shown us through his Word what the standards and expectations are. What we need to do is study these expectations, internalise them and do them.
Our witness to the world is tainted by the things we do and say or by the company that we keep. God is still looking for people in whose lives He can show his power, but we must be willing to work with him on His own terms.
All I do, say and think matter to God. The world is the stage on which the children of God have been saved to display his splendour. God forbid that we now turn his own stage into our own display cabinet. We were created for his glory and our lives' potentials will not be fully realised until we find our rightful place in him.
Let God be seen in you. The world eagerly awaits the manifestation of the sons of God. Are you one? His time of favour is here.
