Thoughts for the Day

I've been thinking a lot about the names for God, escpecially the name "Jehovah-Nissi", Lord our Banner. Thinking about God as our banner is kind of cool. It's like God's your headline--wherever you go, people see God in you foremost.
Think about Galatians 2:20 "I have been crucified with Christ and I no longer live, but Christ lives in me. The life I live in the body, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me." We live by faith--with God as our banner. Living all of life for Christ means that people see Christ in you, and see God as your banner. I don't know about you, but I know that Christ isn't always the first thing people see in me.

Think about the words to the song "Shine" by Newsboys -
Shine
Make 'em wonder what you got
Make 'em wish that they were not
On the outside looking forth

Do people wish that they were like you, do they see God as your banner in your everyday life?
