We have an audience—our family, friends, fellow believers, neighbors, co-workers, classmates and children. Some of them wait for us to fail in the faith so that they can feel better about their sins. Some are struggling in their life situations and watch us to see if this God is really real. Most of our witnesses want us to succeed in the faith in spite of the storms of life.

We are human and have moments where we don’t always represent Christ as we should. God gives us grace to seek forgiveness and learn from our mistakes. It’s our consistent determination to trust God that gives strength to our testimony. Can we still praise God? Can we still pray in faith? Can we still feed from His word every day?

We can and we will do those things as we lean on the Lord for strength and wisdom.

Prayer

Dear Lord, help me by the power of Your Holy Spirit to live righteously, honorably, and faithfully in Christ Jesus. In Jesus’ name, amen.

In His Service,
