What do they see?

"We saw clearly that the LORD was with you" This verse is found in Genesis 26, and is part of a conversation between Abimelek and Isaac.
God has made Isaac very wealthy, and has blessed him in every way. Abimelek sees this and decides to go and see Isaac so that he can make peace with him.
When we walk closely with the Lord others notice. They see our attitude, our behaviour and our reactions. We should be different, we should lead others to Christ with our words and with our actions.
Abimelek was afraid of Isaac because he knew that God was with him. I'm not saying that people should fear us, but they should see a difference in us that makes them think. When was the last time someone asked you about your faith? When was the last time someone apologise to you for swearing in front of you? When was the last time that someone said, "There's something different about you - what is it?"
We need to make sue that the world sees that we are not of the world. We need to make sure that when the world sees us, they really see Jesus.
