Psalm 119:73-80
English Standard Version (ESV)
Think of an ambassador. They live in foreign countries as representatives of another country. They are a constant reminder of a far-off country, serving as a conduit for those who want to reach out, for one reason or another, to that country. Even in the midst of daily life, such as shopping for groceries or putting gas in the car, they are a representative of another way of life.
In that way, we are called to be ambassadors for Christ. The dichotomy between worlds is not so clear, but we are called to live in such a way that represents our citizenship in God's kingdom. Now, there is much that is good and Godly about this earth, and even those who do not proclaim Christ as King are still God's beloved creations, unique and wonderfully made in the image of God, but we still have a role to play that points to God, that serves him in the midst of daily life. Some will see us and target us because of our faith. Some will see us and perhaps express their feelings about God to us. In all these things, we are to love as we have been loved, selflessly reflecting the glory of God, in the hopes that the Holy Spirit works through us and touches the minds and hearts of all.
May we serve faithfully today
