November 9                                                                          The Power of God’s Word
Then if some refuse to obey the Good News, your godly lives will speak to them without any words. They will be won over by observing your pure and reverent lives. – 1 Peter 3:1-2 (NLT)
GODLY LIVES SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS
A poem and essay by ILMA
Who have you been sharing the Good News to?
Do they have difficulty listening to you?
If others refuse to hear what you say
Do you keep on prattling or resort to pray?
Your actions translate your beliefs
If your life is contrary to God’s will
You won’t be a good witness to his word
Be silent and let your life shine to this foolish world.
Have you been talking so much to others about God’s truth and not getting any further with it? The best way to draw people to God is not by words, but by how you live your life. It is good to hear the Good News but if the messenger’s life is in chaos, how can he or she give justice to the truth in the word of God?
The bible tells us that wives must submit to their husband’s authority. Believers are also expected to surrender their lives to Christ to be perfect example to others. Without words but living godly lives, they can bring more people to God’s kingdom.
PRAYER
Lord, give me a pure life to be a good witness to you.
REFLECTION
Why is it important to align our lives to God’s will?
