Scripture: "Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have. But do this with gentleness and respect," 1 Peter 3:15 NIV Application: How do we tell others about Jesus without dominating the conversation about ourselves? Perhaps we need only tell the truth when a question comes to us about our lives, jobs, or a situation. A short reply that deflects attention from our ego-hungry flesh and toward our heavenly Source. Just a few humble words signal where our faith is. The world is aware of this subtle "Christ coding," and we should not dwell on our problems, but moreso on our Problem Solver. Eventually the others may come to us and ask more about how we can be so grateful and content. Be ready to tell the humble truth. Prayer: The world needs Your saving, not our attention grabbing, so please help us to humbly direct our family, friends, and acquaintances to You, Lord. Amen. Comments are closed.
