She is a talented writer with a heart for God and passion for His Word. I know you\u2019ll be inspired by her message about living your Christian beliefs.<\/em><\/p>\n<p><em>Whoever claims to live in Him must live as Jesus did. <\/em>(I John 2:6, NIV)<\/p>\n<p>I love this world, but newscasters could sum up each day with, \u201cThe world\u2019s gone crazy, and that\u2019s the news for today. Have a good night.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Of course history proves this madness isn\u2019t new. Since the Garden of Eden, this wild, wonderful world has always been a bit cracked. It\u2019s filled with people, so it never stood a chance. In our humanness, we\u2019re all going to act a little crazy. Some of us act straight up senseless. It\u2019s only in Christ that we have the power to live differently. <\/p>\n<p><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"363\" class=\" alignright size-full wp-image-43430\" alt=\"\" src=\"https:\/\/gpbookstore.org\/articles\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/08\/blog_jeanwilund_300.jpg\" style=\"width: 300px;height: 363px;margin-left: 15px;margin-right: 15px;float: right\" \/>When we learn we have cancer, panic doesn\u2019t kidnap our emotions. Stalwart trust in our sovereign God gives us strength to smile at the future.<\/p>\n<p>When the news announces terrorism is making its way into our land, fear doesn\u2019t paralyze us. The surpassing peace of Christ rules in our hearts and drops us to our knees in confident trust in our powerful God.<\/p>\n<p>When an opposing fan screams hateful words at our child on the soccer field, sharp words designed to cut the hater down to size don&#8217;t spew from our mouths. Forgiveness calms us as we remember how much we\u2019ve been forgiven.<\/p>\n<p>We all face trials that threaten to disturb our peace and crush our hope. We encounter hatred and rudeness that can awaken the monster within us. We see other people\u2019s success and are tempted to choke on jealousy and discontentment. But it doesn\u2019t have to be that way.<\/p>\n<p>We\u2019ve been given the Spirit of the Living God to empower us to live what we say we believe. Even in the worst situations, if we thoughtfully respond rather than immediately react, we can mirror Christ. How we respond reveals what we truly believe no matter what we say. Each day presents us with new opportunities. Let\u2019s choose to live what we claim to believe. With God\u2019s Spirit in us and for us, I think we\u2019d be crazy not to.<\/p>\n<p>Pray this with me:<\/p>\n<p><em>Father, I thank You that You\u2019re working in me, giving me the desire and the power to do what pleases You so that I can live like I say I believe. I know I won\u2019t get it right all the time, but by Your power\u2013the same power that raised Jesus from the dead\u2013I will seek to show the world who You are through my life and bring You praise and glory. Amen. <\/em>(Prayer based on Philippians 2:13)<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<p><em>Jean Wilund is an author, Bible teacher and blogger. She\u2019s passionate about sharing the life-giving truths in God\u2019s Word.
