No, I am not asking about being selfish or making everything about you. In fact yesterday I asked about who gets the final word. My thought today is really about what can we do to make sure people see the goodness of God?
There is a life style that points people to God. Others might even ask why you are so forgiving or so kind? People may no understand why you don’t do things to people so you get ahead.
The fact is God wants us to live our lives so others see what is good and that God is good. What is different in the person who stands out with God in their lives as number one?
Proverbs 18 NLT (various verses)
4. Wise words are like deep waters; wisdom flows from the wise like a bubbling brook.
10 The name of the Lord is a strong fortress; the godly run to him and are safe.
12 Haughtiness goes before destruction; humility precedes honor.
15 Intelligent people are always ready to learn. Their ears are open for knowledge.
22 The man who finds a wife finds a treasure, and he receives favor from the Lord.
24 There are “friends” who destroy each other, but a real friend sticks closer than a brother.
For years I have reminded you and been reminded that we must keep on reading God’s book. Proverbs is an excellent place to do that each day since there are 31 chapters as do most months.
What makes us stand out is actually standing up for what matters. So stand up. Show up. Point to God with all you have and all you do.
