Suddenly he realised he had somebody else's violin. Horrified, but knowing he'd no other choice he began to play and gave the performance of his life. Afterwards he reflected, 'Before today I thought the music was in the violin; today I learned that the music's in me!' Understand this: Christ lives in you and brings all of His resources with Him! So any time you've a problem, you can face it in the power of the crucified, risen, triumphant Lord who lives within you. Discipleship isn't about doctrinal theory or even memorising scripture. Paul says, 'I have been crucified with Christ and I no long! er live, but Christ lives in me...' (Galatians 2:20 NIV). There's a big difference between living a Christian life, and allowing Christ to live His life through you. Jesus wants to reveal Himself to those around you; by working through you! For that to happen you must learn to spend time in His presence, because you 'become like the company you keep.' Staying sensitive to the promptings of His Spirit, knowing His will by living in His Word, always comes down to a battle of priorities. And you'll fight that battle every day! So, when others see how you respond to problems (and opportunities), do they see Jesus? Can they see the difference His presence makes in your daily life? If not, it's time for change!
