Do you ever feel that you aren’t suited for sharing your faith in Christ? Maybe you’re not comfortable around people. Maybe you’ve encountered some who are hostile to faith.

 

If so, then we are speaking to you this week as we talk about sharing your light in a dark world.

 

Philippians 2:15 says, “Shine...like the stars in the sky.”

 

Have you seen the movie, “The Ten Commandments?” It’s doubtful the real Moses looked and talked like Charlton Heston. And do we really think God looks for His witnesses among people who have that perfect British accent in a Jesus movie?

 

Nope. If we think we have to look or act a certain way, then we’re doing it wrong. God doesn’t ask our permission when giving us our marching orders for sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ. Instead, He approaches us as He did Job: Stand up and listen to what I have to tell you.

 

You are called to shine a light for Christ in a world full of dark things. You are equipped, just as you are. God has called you. Be bold in Christ.

 

He is the Star. We are lights along the way.

 

Let’s pray. Lord, the time is now. So many need you. Help us shine for you every day. Amen.
