Most people wear their wedding rings wherever they go. The rings symbolize a marital bond every moment of every day. We need to keep that same mindset for our faith relationship with God as well.

There is never a room we enter, a conversation we have, or a moment of our day when we are not joined with God through Christ. The Holy Spirit “marks” us as belonging to God, and he indwells us permanently after our salvation.

Our daily witness is our most important sermon to preach. The people we work with should witness Christ in our lives. Those we sit near in a restaurant who hear our conversations should detect our faith. Those we pass on a walk, those who serve us in public, and those who meet with us at church should see genuine faith at work in our lives.

We will all have moments and days where we fall short of that high goal, but, thankfully, we all have God’s grace. Sometimes our strongest witness is actually apologizing to someone for not treating them as we should have. God can use honest humility, almost more than anything else, to reveal and redeem his own character within us.

Paul said that “whatever” we do, we can do it all for the glory of God. We serve a holy God, and our calling is to live in such a way that others can learn to love God and live for him for themselves. Pleasing God is wisdom. What a privilege we have to live this life for the glory of our great, Almighty King!
