PROVE
Today's reading: Matthew 1-3

"Prove by the way you live that you have really turned from your sins and turned to God." Matthew 3:8 NLT

Prove-to learn or find out by experience; to test the truth, validity or genuineness of; to test the worth of; to check the correctness of; to establish the existence, proof or validity of; to demonstrate as having a particular quality or worth; to show to be worthy or capable; to turn out especially after trial or test.

I can say I have faith, but it's my word against the world, until the time comes for that faith to be proved.

For trials to test my mettle.

For tests to grade my reactions and responses.

Saying I have faith is easy. Proving I have it, when I don't feel well, when I've been hurt, when things don't go my way--well, that's harder.

But that's when the outcome is most noticed. When it impacts the 'watchers'. When my testimony is held to the fire. When God is most glorified.

May our faith be proved today--and not be found wanting.
