Today's reading: 1 Corinthians 9-10

"When I am with the Gentiles who do not have the Jewish law, I fit in with them as much as I can. In this way, I gain their confidence and bring them to Christ. But I do not discard the law of God; I obey the law of Christ." 1 Corinthians 9:21 NLT

I'm thinking to myself this morning about the places I'm called to 'fit in'.

God has sent me to specific 'mission fields' to be a light and to be salt--am I doing it?

Am I different, but approachable?

Am I set apart, but welcoming?

Am I a holy influence, but accessible to the people God sends my way?

Am I unfriendly to Satan's attacks, but friendly to the ones His light in me draws?

Am I a strong believer, but one who is cordial to those who are not?

This verse has certainly made me think about my life in the trenches.
