LIVING OUT LOUD
Today's reading: 2 Kings 1-5

"One day Elisha went to the town of Shunem. A wealthy woman lived there, and she invited him to eat some food. From then on, whenever he passed that way, he would stop there to eat. She said to her husband, I am sure this man who stops in from time to time is a holy man of God. Let's make a little room for him on the roof and furnish it with a bed, a table, a chair and a lamp. Then he will have a place to stay whenever he comes by." 2 Kings 4:8-9 NLT

Makes me think, will someone know I'm God's without me telling them?

Without my Christian T-shirt?

Without my cross necklace?

Without my Bible under my arm?

Without my most recent church bulletin sticking out of my pocket?

Without my Jesus fish lapel pin?

Without them having seen me drink out of my Philippians 4:13 coffee mug?

Without knowing I have a boldly printed yard sign inviting them to church?

Will they see Him in me without me saying anything at all? Will they hear Him in my words, even if my words aren't direct quotes from Scripture? Will His love flow through me in the most ordinary of circumstances? Will they notice God in me when I don't know anyone is looking?

And how might my life be blessed by someone who does notice God in me?
