Gravitas

Gravitas: seriousness or sobriety, as of conduct or speech. During the course of today I heard that word in my spirit and thought about how we are living epistles read by men. Many people have never been to and may never enter a church but the church is not just a building. We, as believers, comprise the church and we have to make sure that we let our light so shine that men may see our good works and glorify our father in heaven. That means that we have to be mindful of what we say and do at all times.

1 Peter 5:7-9

7 Casting all your care upon him; for he careth for you.

8 Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion,

9 Whom resist stedfast in the faith, knowing that the same afflictions are accomplished in your brethren that are in the world.
