Day 47 - Show Them Your God

Day 47
Exodus 7-8, Matthew 6:19-34

Did you know that when you claim the title of "Christian" you are constantly painting a picture of who God is to all around you, especially to unbelievers? In Exodus 7:1, God tells Moses that He "will make him seem like God to Pharaoh." Moses is essentially showing Pharaoh how powerful and persistent his God is. What are you showing others about your God?

We can show people over and over Who our God is, but maybe they stay hard of heart like Pharaoh. Be persistent. You never know when God will move in them. Show them why you shine and why you have a reason to hold your head up. God can perform great miracles through you like He did with Moses. Moses didn't have the confidence to face Pharaoh, but we see that God still used him to move mountains and rescue His people.

As we continue to read the Sermon on the Mount, we read about storing our treasures in heaven and casting aside our worries. When we store everything we care about in heaven and have a heart for what God's heart beats for, we can find freedom from the worries of this world. Where your heart and worries are makes all the difference as to the light that shines from you. When your cares are in God's hands, you can fully give yourself to Him and His cause. But when you are weighed down and worried about things of this world, it is easy to forget where your heart needs to be.

Believe that God has you and you can shine His light so bright to those around you. Paint that picture of Him to others that portrays Who He really is. Be persistent when you don't think He is using you for His cause. Stay in tune with Him and let Him direct your steps and the mission He calls you to. Cast your worries into His very capable hands and let your light shine so that others want a piece of what makes you glow.
