1 Peter 3:15, "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts and always be ready to give a defense to everyone who asks you a reason for the hope that is in you, with meekness and fear…" Did you know that your life is a sermon? Your life speaks about your hope in Christ. The prophet Isaiah talks about a time when there will be gross darkness upon the earth, but he says, "The light of the Lord's presence will rise upon us and we will become a light in the darkness." What is that light that can point the fearful towards the coming of the Lord? It's the light of Christ living within those who surrender to him. People are afraid. There will be a time when they will come to us because they see the living hope that's in our hearts. We need to be ready to give them an answer of how, that instead of worrying, that you and I have this incredible confidence in God. For you and I, let's always remember our strength comes from prayer. It's time to pray.
