"From now on let no one cause trouble for me, for I bear on my body the brand-marks of Jesus." -Galatians 6:17 (NASB)
It can be easy to tell what my daughter has been doing. She may have chocolate, lollipop, or popsicle on her face. She may have marker or paint on her hands. Her hands may be sandy from the sandbox or covered in flour and egg from helping to bake. Her "marks" are sure signs of her recent endeavors!
When people look at us, they should see our marks, too. Our marks may not be physical, but they should be just as noticeable. People should tell by our actions that our beliefs are in the one true God and His resurrected Son, Jesus. If we remain rooted in God, then it will be impossible for others to cause us trouble that we cannot overcome!
Bear the mark as a follower of Jesus through all you do. In Him, you will be able to overcome all trouble!
Prayer:
Dear God-
Thank You for giving me Your Son and forgiveness and new life through His death on the cross. Help me to show Your mark so that others can see Your caring and forgiveness. In Jesus' name I pray, amen.
