And whatever you do, do it heartily as to the Lord and not to men. Colossians 3:23

 

As a child of God, you are not of the world, but you live in the world. As a representative of Christ, the world is watching you. Everything you say and do is looked upon by those outside the faith. That is why it’s so important to live out your faith, regardless of the circumstances in your life.

 

Maybe it’s a difficult boss who makes it challenging to go to work every day, or a spouse who makes it difficult to stay in the marriage, a rebellious child who challenges your patience or maybe you are simply not in a good place and always looking for something better. The list is definitely endless, but God wants you to be content in your current situation so you can show the world the characteristics of Christ: love, joy, peace, kindness, long-suffering, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, self-control (Galatians 5:22).

 

Not that I speak in regard to need, for I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content. Philippians 4:11

 

Your life might not be perfect, and honestly things might be quite difficult, even painful. Put all your energy into pleasing the Lord where you are, and not seek after the praise of this world. No one has more interest in you, than God Himself. He gave His Son, Jesus Christ, as payment for your soul.

 

And my God shall supply all your needs according to His riches in glory by Christ Jesus. Philippians 4:19 Live your life for the One who gave His life for you! God bless!
