Shine Like Stars: Devotions From Time of Grace

DAY 25 OF 33

A Witness That Shines

One of my most painful high school memories is the time I begged a ride from my parents to a basketball game and then promptly ditched them as soon as we were in the doors. Many wives can tell stories about being taken to a gathering of their husband's business associates and then ditched. As he goes around the room solo, she wonders if he is ashamed of her.

Does it surprise you to know that God wonders whether you are proud of him in the way you talk and the places you go? Can the people in your life detect that you are God's child, a royal priest, an heir of heaven?

St. Paul was a spiritual disaster until rescued by the Savior's call. He was a changed man: "I consider my life worth nothing to me, if only I may finish the race and complete the task the Lord Jesus has given me--the task of testifying to the gospel of God's grace" (Acts 20:24).

Are you proud of God? Need some encouragement? Ready? Read on . . .

About this Plan

Shine Like Stars: Devotions From Time of Grace

We are Christians because God chose us; decided to love us in spite of our sin; and sent Jesus to live, die, and rise again for our forgiveness. Belonging to God means changing our sinful ways. This reading plan will help you make those changes in your behavior and life so that you shine like stars.
