Not Ashamed
I Peter 4:16 NKJV
[16] Yet if anyone suffers as a Christian, let him not be ashamed, but let him glorify God in this matter.
Choose to glorify God, in every area of your life. Let Christ be revealed through your life. Let Christ be reflected in your everyday conduct. Let Christ be reflected in your language. Let Christ be reflected in everything you say and do.
When you choose to surrender to God, though trials and difficulties may arise, God is faithful to deliver you from them all. Choose to trust God — He’s got you. God is faithful to lead you and guide you in the right direction — His direction. Surrender to Him and choose to do things His Way.
When you do things His Way, it may not always be the popular thing to do. When you do things God’s Way, you may not always be a part of the “in” crowd. When you choose to do things His Way, you may not have the “buy-in” of others around you. As a Christian, you must decide what you value the most — the validation of man or the approval of God?
1 Peter 4:16 AMPC declares, “But if [one is ill-treated and suffers] as a Christian [which he is contemptuously called], let him not be ashamed, but give glory to God that he is [deemed worthy to suffer] in this name.” Never be ashamed to represent Christ in every area of your life, on your job, in business, or in the public square— choose to pattern your life after God’s Way of doing things. Choose to pattern yourself after Christ — you belong to Him.
