Sometime
someone may ask you “Who is Jesus—or why are you so happy?” What will you say
to them? Be ready. That is what Peter tells us—get your act together. Be ready.
Prepare ahead of time if necessary. What has God done in your life—not ten
years ago, but today? How do you see God working in your life? What gives you
hope—eternal hope? Can you tell others about how God is working in your life
and where your hope comes from? If not—then is it real?
Training Tip – Practice with your spouse or other Christian
friends telling each other your story—how you became a Christian…your testimony
in five minutes or less. Include details of what God is currently doing in your
life. If necessary keep a journal or list of the things God is doing for you.
Then when you are chatting with your neighbor over your fence—or your own kids—you
can reverently give an account of what God is doing in your life.
Lord God, I know that You have promised to never
leave me or forsake me—You are always with me. Open my eyes to see all the ways
that You are working in my life. Help me to be ready and willing to share with
others those ways—to give an account for the hope that You give me.
