Something to ponder for the mid-week. I often think about this as I strive to live a Christian life- both inside and out. Everyone has those moments, and I’m thankful that I can [mostly] catch sight of them before I let them define me. For instance, I have a big frustration with drivers here in PR, and I find myself expressing anger outwardly – which no one can hear but myself and God – and I wonder, if others were sitting in the car with me right now, would they define me by these actions?

This is a difficult one, right? Because we know that we fall short, and we know that there are always those people around who take that opportunity to say “Ha! See! You say you’re a Christian, but I just saw you do… that thing, or say those words, or make that gesture”, even if they don’t express this openly or verbally. How do you respond to this? Or, do you respond to this? 

I love this proverb. I feel its applicable to any century and all societies. Perhaps this will help refocus you for the rest of the week? I know it will for me.
