Our Life Speaks
What is my life really saying? I was considering this question recently, and I had to really think about the answer. First off, it is realizing that my life is speaking. It has a voice. Since I’m living my life I may not realize the voice it has, but to people around me, my life speaks to them.
I know what I want my life to say. I have some conceptions of what I think my life is saying. Often times however, what we think we’re saying is not the same as what is being heard.
There have been times when I’m trying to tell a story or explain something to my wife and I think it’s really funny. However, after I tell her the story, she doesn’t think it is funny or that my story did not make sense. I was trying to tell her one thing and it was heard in a different way than I intended. Our lives can be the same way.
How Do We Live?
So how should we live our lives? For the people that are watching and listening or for ourselves.
Matthew 4:4(KLV)
But he answered and said, It is written, Man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word that proceedeth out of the mouth of God.
I believe this is how we should live our lives. God’s word, the Bible, has direction and guidance for us. There is something for every situation and every care that we have.
Colossians 1:10(KJV)
That ye might walk worthy of the Lord unto all pleasing, being fruitful in every good work, and increasing in the knowledge of God;
Do we please God?
Our lives should be pleasing to God. When we live our lives in this manner, we don’t have to worry about what our lives are saying. God is speaking for us. This should be a comfort to us. It should take the stress of everyday life off our shoulders, and places it at God’s feet.
What is my life saying? I want it to say that I’m a loving husband and father. A man that loves God and shows that love to the people and community around him.
What is your life saying?
