What Is Your Lifestyle Saying To The World In Response To Their Questions About Who God Is? Are You Negotiating With The World Concerning Who You Are To God and In God?

What are you saying to the world in response to their questions concerning your life?   Understand, your lifestyle is a response.   What they see and what they hear coming from your life is in response to their questions regarding who God is to you.    Are you going with the world's flow and failing to take a stand for God or are you rejecting what the world wants you to do in order to be pleasing to God?   What is  your response?

Do you respond in faith when things look like they are not working out the way you need them to or do you give up, quit, and try to make things happen on your own?   When the world asks you what is your favorite book, are you bold enough to say the Bible or a book that pertains to life and Godliness?    What about when they ask you what your favorite song is, do you pick an oldie but goody just because they may know that song?    What is your response?

God wants you to be bold.   He wants you to show forth His glory through your life.   That means He wants you to be able to give a God response.  When people look at you, they should see the God in you.   When they listen to you, they should hear the God in you.   This doesn't mean that you have to preach to them.   It just means you have a standard and that you refuse to negotiate who you are to God and in God.   To negotiate means to deal or to bargain with.   Don't negotiate with the world concerning who God is in your life.   He is the very breadth of life and He has chosen you to be His representative in the earth.   Represent Him well.

SCRIPTURE MEDITATION 

1 Corinthians 15:58 

King James Version (KJV)

58 Therefore, my beloved brethren, be ye steadfast, unmoveable, always abounding in the work of the Lord, forasmuch as ye know that your labour is not in vain in the Lord.
