Philippians 1 : 27a

Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ.

This statement basically covers all situations. It's the WWJD verse. I think the way we react speaks volumes to those around us. We all encounter difficult situations . What sets Christians apart is how we react to those situations. There are always people looking to us for an example. That may be our children, friends, or others we have influence over. The way we react teaches them how to react. It may also be an opportunity to witness to others, sharing hope in a hopeless situation or providing peace where there is none.

Malachi 2:7

For the lips of a priest ought to preserve knowledge, because he is the messenger of the LORD Almighty and people seek instruction from his mouth.

As a Christian, I am a priest of the Lord. It is my responsibility to preserve knowledge. Like the saying goes, I may be the only Bible some people may ever read. As an example of a servant of the Lord I need to be careful what I do and say, I need to make sure everything I do and say are as the Lord would want it to be.

Holy Father, please be with me every step of the day, be with me every word I speak, be with me in everything I do. May all of it bring glory to your name. May all of it bring others to you. Amen
