Bible verse to Ponder on: Proverbs 4:18- “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect day. The way of the wicked is as darkness: they know not at what they stumble.”
What the verse is talking about: Do we shine for God from day to day: “But the path of the just is as the shining light, that shineth more and more unto the perfect
day.” In order to be a shining (bright) light, we
must be completely different from the world. ( set-apart!!)
But... the world says otherwise, it says we must fit in to be accepted, but that's not what God wants. He want's us to be set-apart in Him. He wants us to be different and a shining light to those that are blinded by this worlds darkness.
The challenge: To Look within myself to see if I meet this verses standards. Am I set apart and different from those around
me in the world? What makes me set apart? What makes me different? And what areas do I find myself wanting to “fit in” with those in and of the world? What areas am I struggling with in my life? How can I change to fit into how God wants me to be?
Common areas in everyday situations:
- Music - is my music that of God, or that of the world?
- Dress - Am I dressed in a set apart manner, Am I trying to dress as much alike those around me, as I can? Can people tell that I am Jesus', Just by the clothes I wear?
- Attitudes - what is my attitude like?
- Appearance - How do I act and carry myself?
- Words – What is my language like? Is it pleasing to God, or displeasing?
This is the questions I will be pondering about tomorrow and also praying about.
Wish me luck, I also wish you luck if your Joining me in this!!!:D
Your sister in Christ,
Zipporah!
