One day many years ago, as I was reading my Bible, I came across a verse in Psalm 86:17, which said, “Show me a sign for good.” The psalmist wanted God to come and show David’s enemies that God was with him.
That sounded good to me! Maybe I should ask for a sign for good, too?
As I was thinking about this and wondering what kind of sign God would give me, He stopped me and said, “What if you are the sign someone is looking for today?”
I realized that I didn’t need a sign. I already knew that God loved me and I really had everything I needed. I should stop focusing on myself and see if I could be a blessing to someone else.
Those of us who have accepted God’s love by making Jesus our Savior, are supposed to be the signs that point others to Christ, to the cross, and to Heaven. And we should see how we can help those who are lost or in need.
For we are His workmanship – created in Christ Jesus for good works, that God prepared in advance that we should walk in them. Ephesians 2:10
Father God, I praise You, I’ve come to seek Your face Jesus, Lord, I thank You for Your mercy and Your grace Holy Spirit, lead me and guide me every day Help me to be a light to shine and show someone the way.
Lord, You are so loving, so merciful and kind You sent Your word to heal us in body, soul, and mind Holy Spirit, guide me in what to do and say Let me be Your hand of love and touch someone today.
Lord, I pray You’ll use me to brighten someone’s life Who feels so defeated by fear and doubt and strife Help me to be a friend today and show how much You care And may they see Your face in mine as Your love I share.
