How Big Is Your Print?
READ: 2 Corinthians 3:1b-6
Any time you buy anything expensive, you see it; the tiny print at the bottom of the page that contains all the details that they don't really want you to see. However, some things that we see all the time are billboards. They're covered in HUGE words because people paying for the sign really want us to read what it is they've said.
In this passage Paul writes to the Corinthians and in verse 2 says that they, the people, are the living letters of the Lord with the Word of God in their hearts. They were to be known and read by the people around them. Paul tells them to be living witnesses for the Lord in everything they did.
In the same way, God wants us to witness through our lives. But, how well do you usually show your faith in the things that you do? Are you showing your faith in BIG ways by helping others, witnessing to those who are unchurched, and otherwise making it obvious to those who meet you on the street that you are the Lord's child? Or, are you hiding your faith by never helping others when they need you, avoiding the topic of religion when it comes up with those who are unchurched, or hoping that no one realizes you are a Christian when you're walking down the street?
Remember what Jesus did for you and show it by being a living letter with the BIGGEST print ever.
THINGS TO THINK ABOUT: What size print am I displaying in my daily life? What can I do to show my Savior to those around me?
PRAYER SUGGESTIONS: Ask the Lord to help you to increase your print in witnessing and your daily life. Thank the Lord that His wonderful message has been placed in your heart.
