Life Will Always Present a Test

Have you ever found yourself under attack?  Have you ever felt as though everyone wanted you to fail?  No matter how much love you sow toward others, it often seems as though you reap hell from them.  Have you ever experienced that?  Are you currently experiencing that?  Do you find yourself having to bite your tongue more often?  Do you have co-workers and neighbors who love to stir up strife in the office or community?  Are you surrounded by double-minded people?  Their attitudes change like the weather.

Life will always present test.  Each day offers a different test than the day before.  You find yourself on the defense at the job, in the home, at the church, in the community, in the classroom.  People are always trying to get you to denounce the name of Christ.  My friend, Be Not Ashamed Of Christ!  The Bible declares in Mark 8:38 - Whosoever therefore shall be ashamed of me and of my words in this adulterous and sinful generation; of him also shall the Son of man be ashamed, when he cometh in the glory of His Father with the holy angels.  We are charged to represent Christ wherever we go.  Even when times become difficult to handle, we must still display a Christ-like attitude.  Be Not Ashamed Of Christ!  Many of your friends, who are not Believers, are searching for the truth.  There is a hunger within them.  If you begin to waver in your faith, they will turn in another direction.

My brother, my sister, the Bible declares inRomans 12:2 - And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.  Never allow your current situation make you conform to it.  Through a renewed mind, you can bring about a change.  Be Not Ashamed Of Christ!  When you are on your job, you do not have to tell everyone you are a Believer.  Through your attitude and actions, the glow of the Holy Spirit will radiate the atmosphere.  When you attempt to cover up who God is in your life, you are telling Christ that you are ashamed of Him.  The Bible declares in Joshua 24:15 - And if it seem evil unto you to serve the LORD, choose you this day whom ye will serve; whether the gods which your fathers served that were on the other side of the flood, or the gods of the Amorites, in whose land ye dwell: but as for me and my house, we will serve the LORDThought to Remember: Christ is not ashamed of you, so never be ashamed of Him.
