Live for Him

Colossians 3:17—And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.

God has created each of us uniquely to fulfill a special purpose in His grand design.  Everything we do, even the most mundane chore around the house, has a purpose in God’s plan.  We don’t have to be preachers or missionaries to live our life for God, either.  In fact, if all we ever did was surround ourselves with other believers, no one would ever know the love of Jesus.  We are supposed to take His message out into the world because we aren’t Christians just when we show up to church.  Our status has permanently changed, our passport has been stamped, and our citizenship in God’s kingdom has been secured.  We are fundamentally changed in Christ’s love, and we must demonstrate that in all aspects of our life.

Today, prayerfully consider your daily routine.  Ask God to live boldly in you so that others may see him.  Ask Him to reveal areas where you have shut Him out and invite Him in.  Lift up praise to God through the words of Casting Crown’s Lifesong: May the words I say/And the things I do/Make my lifesong sing/Bring a smile to You/Let my lifesong sing to You/Let my lifesong/sing to You/I want to sign Your name/To the end of this day/Knowing that my heart was true/Let my lifesong sing to You.
