Dressing God

Are you making God look good today? The apostle Paul believed that our actions can dress up the teaching of our God to make Him look good and appealing to those around us. That is why Paul wanted us to live in such a way that we “may adorn the doctrine of God our Savior in every respect” (Titus 2:10).

So, how do we accomplish this? Again the words of Paul give us guidance. Paul in instructing his young disciple Titus on how to get God’s people to have a great effect on the community they are in tells Titus at the end of his letter to him—“And let our people also learn to engage in good deeds to meet pressing needs, that they may not be unfruitful” (Titus 3:14).

Here are a few suggestions:
• Provide a meal or a need item to a single mother this week through the WOW Event.
• Take an unbelieving workmate to lunch.
• Take some time to go speak with a neighbor and offer to assist them with a need.
• Contact a person you know has a need and let him/her know that you’ll be praying for that need.
• Ask the Lord to show you ways to beautifully adorn Him as you go through your day.

INVEST (time, prayers, resources, etc.) in someone, then INVITE that person to church.
