“For All To See”
by Dona Hake
“Let the peace and joy of your life and God flow out for all to see.
Even the most ordinary things, done in God‘s presence,
are serving Him.
God ordains even simple things to be done in His order
and for His glory. Don’t forget that!
Most people, in trying to please God, expect that God
wants them to do difficult or unusual things. God wants
you to die to yourself, and live to Him in the every
day events of life.”
Francois de Fennelon
Today I want to encourage you to live and move and have ALL of your being in Him. Even in the smallest of things, let us believe that the Lord’s hand is upon each and every one.
“For in Him we live and move and exist
[that is, in Him we actually have our being]”
Acts 17:28 – AMP
Acts 17:28 – AMP
Let us live by faith, and daily be quick to die to ourselves that we may truly please our Lord.
“I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer
I that live, but Christ liveth in me: and that life which
I now live in the flesh I live in faith, the faith which is
in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave
himself up for me.”
Galatians 2:20 ASV
Galatians 2:20 ASV
In this daily life, we must regularly crucify sinful desires that would keep us from walking in God’s will. As we live as onto our Lord may we consciously desire that He manifest Himself even in the ordinary things of our life. He will most certainly use us to touch people around us in ways that we have never dreamed. Just by simply living for Him, we can expect the extraordinary to happen in the ordinary moments and the smallest of details in our life!
