BE BLESSTIFIED!
WHAT WILL PEOPLE LEARN FROM YOU TODAY…Original, daily devotionals, inspiration and more from a fresh, "Hey! I never thought about it like that before" perspective.
It’s amazing how many lives we touch without even noticing it. When you profess faith in God through our LORD and Savior, Yeshua, Christ Jesus, people are watching you.
That being said, we have a responsibility to represent Him well. We are His ambassadors in this world compelling, sometimes without words, that everyone who is created in the image of God be reconciled to Him.
2 Corinthians 5:20 (NKJV)
20 Now then, we are ambassadors for Christ, as though God were pleading through us: we implore you on Christ’s behalf, be reconciled to God.
We are to set the standard of behavior in how to approach the daily challenges in life, and it’s not always easy.
John 15:16 (NKJV)
16 You did not choose Me, but I chose you and appointed you that you should go and bear fruit, and that your fruit should remain, that whatever you ask the Fatherin My name He may give you.
We’re teaching people the correct way to respond to…
Stress…
Criticism…
Disappointment…
Racism…
Negativity…
Victory…
Good fortune…
Panhandlers…
Disrespectful coworkers…
Bad drivers in traffic…
Bad service in a restaurant…
Those who disagree with us politically…
Those who disagree with us spiritually…
Your team’s loss…
Your team’s win…
Racism…
Negativity…
Victory…
Good fortune…
What we regard as foolishness…
Broken promises…
The unfairness of life.
Your reactions are a lesson. Your reactions are confirmation. Your reactions are a seed. Will they produce good fruit, or bad.
What are people learning from your reactions today? What did they learn from your reactions yesterday?
Remember, your circle of influence extends beyond those in your circle.
BE BLESSTIFIED!
I’m currently in retail transitioned from ministry and it has been a real learning experience. It was easy to view my life as service to God in ministry, but it’s much more difficult to view retail as unto the Lord. Great post, good reminder as always!
