Daily Devotion from Pastor Eric & Rita - Let Your Light Shine

Let Your Light Shine
Today's Devotional Reading:
Josh 9-11; 1 Cor. 6
March 22, 2011

By reading the scripture above each day you will read the Old Testament through in one year and the New Testament through twice in a year. This will change your life. Start Today!
TODAY'S SCRIPTURE   

"There was a time when some of you were just like that, but now your sins have been washed away, and you have been set apart for God...." (1 Cor 6:11 NLT)


TODAY'S WORD   
do the people around you see your light shining? Do they know you are a believer by your actions? Are you setting the bar in your office? Can people see your good works?


I know people who can quote half the Bible and pray two hours a day, but they have no influence or credibility because they´re sloppy in the workplace. They´re always late or wasting time. They´re not productive. They´re not efficient. No one will even listen to them.

 

I heard somebody say, "Your performance gives you a platform." When you excel in what you do, that gets people´s attention. The way to gain respect, the way to gain influence is to develop your character and skills in such a way that people want what you have. They may not agree with what you believe, but when you are the best in your company, they can´t argue with that. You´ve earned their respect, not by your words, but by your spirit of excellence.

I encourage you today, don´t settle for mediocrity. You are a child of the Most High God. Make the decision today to let your light shine and bring Him glory in everything you do!

 

A PRAYER FOR YOU TODAY 

Heavenly Father, I choose to let my light shine so that I can bring glory to You. Help me to rise up higher; show me ways to set the standard. Let my life be a testimony of You. In Jesus´ Name. Amen.

We sure love you!
Eric & Rita
