“Therefore
be careful to observe all the {commandments} in the sight of peoples (Gentiles)
who will say, ‘Surely this is a wise and understanding people’.”
Deuteronomy 4:6
Do you find yourself a little tongue
tied when you want to tell others about Jesus? How about if they asked you
instead of you initiating the conversation? Today’s passage tells us that our
lives of obedience will attract attention and cause people to ask us why we live
this way. This same idea is repeated in I Peter where he tells us the world
will note our changed lives and ask us why we live this new way?
The Israelites were supposed to be
witnesses with their lives which were directed by living according to the Commandments.
People would notice them and inquire about God? Our lives are to be a living
witness as we live out the pure commandments of God. Our lives are supposed to
be the world’s introduction to Christ.
Dear Father, Help us to live as
imitators of Christ and be a sweet testimony to others of Your grace. Amen.
The Friday Benediction
Until Monday, my friends, may the good God envelop
you with His grace; may you prove the common confession of faith, “I believe in
the holy Christian church and in the fellowship of the saints”, and may you be
enriched with joy and hope as you exercise that confession this weekend. Amen
