We should always be looking for opportunities to give God the glory for things in our lives. If we can learn how to do this in subtle ways throughout various moments of our day, the Holy Spirit can begin to reveal to those around us who Jesus is.
John 12:32“But I, when I (Jesus) am lifted up from the earth, will draw all men to myself.”
There are times when we are to boldly proclaim the reality of our Lord to others and shout it from the rooftops. I believe that we are to be ready IN season and OUT of season to speak to others about our best friend, Lord and Savior.
To lift Jesus higher in subtle ways is like climbing a ladder one step at a time. Here’s the key: you only take an occasional step higher on the ladder with those whom you interact with on a daily basis. Eventually, the many steps on the ladder you have taken will take you to the place of lifting the name of Jesus higher. During all of those steps, the Lord will be drawing men to himself through your obedience and willingness to be a witness for him.
Ask God to help you lift Jesus higher. If you do this, I believe that He will begin to fill your mouth with words from heaven. Your conversations will occasionally be seasoned with the salt of the earth and Jesus will be lifted higher.
