I find myself watching the USA Channel at home alot. Mostly because I enjoy watching the re-runs of NCIS. This channel advertises their shows with the slogan, "Characters are Welcome". Meaning that they have many colorful and entertaining actors and actresses in their line-up of shows. I have found myself thinking about that word, Character a lot lately. And I am not talking about actors, but instead about the meaning of the word "Character" we find in the Word of God that Christ calls us to live out.
Proverbs 31 speaks of what it means to be a women of noble character. In Romans, Paul tells us that Character produces hope and in I Corinthians we are told that "bad company corrupts good character". Character is one of those traits that we earn in life. It is also one of those traits that those we rub elbows with, give to us. People with Character seek to be mature, humble & honest people. People with Character are well respected by their peers and God. People with Character are quick to listen and slow to speak. People of Character are those that you and I want to be like. So the question for today is, "Are you a person striving always to be seen as such a person"? When the Father looks from heaven at you, does He proclaim, "This is my child in whom I am well pleased?" Now there is a goal to work towards!
Love You all. Have a Blessed week! Pastor Rick Koch
