There are lots of things that can get us down. Sometimes, those "things" are the words or actions of others that may not understand our motives. However, a friend recently reminded me that we are called to be "fools for Christ." Even when others may question us or put us down for our faith, we need to hold our heads up high!
We are reminded in Romans that we are not to be ashamed. We know that God stands behind His promises. We know that we are redeemed through the sacrifice of Jesus Christ. Because of God's strength, power, and love, we can stand tall in our faith. We can and should act on this faith. It is through our actions that people will begin to understand the presence and power of God and why we hold our heads high without shame!
Believe in the promises of God and in His power to redeem you, then live for Him and hold your head high!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for Your power and presence in my life. Help me to act out my faith and to hold my head high. Through Jesus I pray, amen.
