Read 1 Peter 3:15 and Galatians 2:20.

“What has God done in your life this week?”

The group of new believers looked eagerly, even anxiously to hear my answer to this question. They had just shared their stories of answered prayer, of suffering and doubt, and of new life being discovered with child-like wonder.

Each person sitting with me in the small house church had recently left the darkness of Islam to find new hope in Christ. And now it was my turn. What had God done in my life this week?

Answer God’s Daily Call

This question continues to challenge me today. We are called to something so much bigger than ourselves.

Being on mission with God, living out the gospel daily and functioning as part of the Body of Christ is not a human enterprise. When I’m left to my own resources, I get human-sized results.

They may look impressive to some, but I am called to crucifixion with Christ. Submission to Him is the only way I can answer, “What has God done in my life this week?” in a way that gives a defense for the hope I’ve found in Jesus Christ.

Continue to Seek Out the Lord

Lord, may we always seek Your face and presence. Keep us close to Your heart so that we will always be prepared to give an answer for the hope You’ve graciously given us. Amen.
