2 Chronicles 6-8
What God said to me – The world does not know Me or seek Me. They look at creation and think it is all a coincidence in nature. They do not ascribe it to Me. Just as Solomon’s temple stood as a witness to the world of My greatness and faithfulness, so you as My temple now stand as a witness to the world. The way the world sees Me now is through My church. They look to My children and see the way they live and are either drawn to Me or they turn away. Your actions and lifestyle and words either lift Me up or tarnish My reputation. Keep this in mind as you respond to the various situations and trials you encounter. They are watching you. Live in such a way as to bring honor to My name. Live in such a way that they know you belong to Me – not just by your words, but by your actions.
