EVERYDAY CHRISTIANITY

Psalms 31:19

This verse says in AMP version, "Oh how great is your goodness which You have laid up for those who fear, revere and worship You, goodness which You have wrought for those who trust and take refuge in You before the sons of men".

God favors and shows His goodness He has kept to those who reverence Him. God does not want us to only fear and revere Him in a Christian setting but also at work, on the street, in the market, at school etc. He takes pleasure in those that declare/proclaim their faith outside (i.e before men) and not in those that are scared of being rejected.

We must care more about our reputation in heaven than our reputation among men. Stand strong for God and never be ashamed or embarrassed to live the Christian life openly and boldly before other people.
