Matthew 5:16
“In the same way, let your light shine before others, that they may see your good deeds and glorify your Father in heaven.”

Do you remember what Moses looked like when he came down the mountain after 40 days with God? His face was glowing. The time He spent with God changed, not only his inside but his outside as well. Now, when you spend time with God, your face isn’t going to light up your outside, but it will change you on the inside. And that change will be like a light seen by others in the way you live and act towards them. So, let it shine, let it shine.

Psalm 119:105
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light to my path.

Do you remember when people used to carry an Atlas of the United States in their car in order to figure where to go? Now, all we have to do is ask our phone to navigate us there. But that only works to find a place with a specific address. In life, the only way to truly know where you’re going, is to have God’s Word guide you there. And when God leads, He doesn’t lay out a map with each step clearly laid out, He gives you just what you need for today.

2 Timothy 4:2
Preach the word! Be ready in season and out of season. Convince, rebuke, exhort, with all longsuffering and teaching.

Did you know Paul encouraged Timothy to only preach in 2 seasons…in season and out of season. Now, that could mean, when you’re ready to share the gospel and when you’re not. The point is, don’t wait until it’s convenient, you’re called to share the Good News, so do it! And while you’re doing it, remember you were once in their shoes, so be patient.

Psalm 86:15
But You, O Lord, are a God full of compassion, and gracious, longsuffering and abundant in mercy and truth.

God is full, but you need to be filled. That’s just a truth that will never change. The great thing is, whatever you need from Him, He has it in abundance. So, if you need patience, He’s got it. Compassion, He’s full of it. Mercy, it’s new every morning. The only thing you need to learn to do, is to ask!

Romans 2:4
Or do you despise the riches of His goodness, forbearance, and longsuffering, not knowing that the goodness of God leads you to repentance?

If you have a relationship with God today, the Bible says it’s because, at some point, you experienced the overwhelming kindness of God. Somehow, in some way, you encountered the incredible, generous loving-kindness of the all-powerful, omnipotent, omnipresent God, who said that even when you were His enemy, He still loved you. And thankfully, that love continues to transform you into His image until the day of Christ Jesus.

Ephesians 4:1-3
I, therefore, the prisoner of the Lord, beseech you to walk worthy of the calling with which you were called, with all lowliness and gentleness, with longsuffering, bearing with one another in love, endeavoring to keep the unity of the Spirit in the bond of peace.

When Paul used the word beseech, he was almost begging believers to learn to behave in a way that is different than the world. Instead of showing pride, be lowly, instead of anger, be gentle, instead of impatience, show patience, and instead of fighting, be unified. By living in this manner, you’re engaging others in a way that reflects your calling as a follower of Christ. It’s not easy, but it’s worth it.
