Signs!

Psalm 71 (New International Version, ©2011)

Psalm 71

 ¹ In you, LORD, I have taken refuge;
   let me never be put to shame.
² In your righteousness, rescue me and deliver me;
   turn your ear to me and save me.
³ Be my rock of refuge,
   to which I can always go;
give the command to save me,
   for you are my rock and my fortress.
⁴ Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked,
   from the grasp of those who are evil and cruel. ⁵ For you have been my hope, Sovereign LORD,
   my confidence since my youth.
⁶ From birth I have relied on you;
   you brought me forth from my mother’s womb.
   I will ever praise you.
⁷ I have become a sign to many; 
   you are my strong refuge.
⁸ My mouth is filled with your praise,
   declaring your splendor all day long.

Are people watching you? If you are a bold proclaiming christian, I would guess they are. They want to know if you're "real". They want to know if your words match your actions. They want to know if you're a Christian just on Sundays or 365 days per year. As Christians we are signs to many people. What type of sign are you. Do you give helpful information. Are you a warning sign? Are you selling something?  Are you a Public Service Announcement? Are you a Yield or a Stop Sign. Are you a warning sign to the dangers ahead? Are you a Road Construction sign? Are you a Speed Limit sign? Are you an information sign?

As Christians we are on display for everyone to see. We need to make sure we are sending the message God wants us to send. We are his creation.
