A Christian life well-lived, in spite of trial and circumstance, is proof of the power of God.
II Corinthians 4:7-10 "But we have this treasure in earthen vessels, that the excellency of the power may be of God, and not of us.
We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed; we are perplexed, but not in despair;
Persecuted, but not forsaken; cast down, but not destroyed;
Always bearing about in the body the dying of the Lord Jesus, that the life also of Jesus might be made manifest in our body."
God is not only working out His will in us and making us more like Jesus with each difficult circumstance that we go through. He is also showing His power to the world.
There is no way that we could live victorious lives without His resurrection power at work in us.
We are literally showing God to the world as we live out our faith each day.
So, what did the world learn about God by watching us yesterday???
And…what will we determine to show them today?
