1 Peter 2:12 Keep your behavior excellent among the Gentiles, so that in the thing in which they slander you as evildoers, they may because of your good deeds, as they observe them, glorify God in the day of visitation. 

Have you ever noticed that people watch people. We are curious and always scanning our surroundings for anything or anyone to notice, especially those things that are anything but normal. Bad behavior always gets noticed, and these days even recorded on phones and shared through social media. 

Today's passage reminds us to keep our behavior excellent amongst our peers. Your actions, and words, most assuredly can and do affect others behaviors, and opinions of you. Toting the line sometimes can be challenging, especially in this world where most everything is socially acceptable, but if you remain faithful to righteous morals, your actions plant seeds of truth. And believe me, society needs a glimpse of what's right in the eyes of God. 

Galatians 6:9 Let us not lose heart in doing good, for in due time we will reap if we do not grow weary.

As you journey through each day, continue in your quest to live an obedient life. Your life is a living testimony of the wondrous work of the Lord. You never know what seeds of truth you are planting by the audience in which you stand amongst every day. God bless.
