OH, HOW GREAT IS YOUR GOODNESS, WHICH YOU HAVE LAID UP FOR THOSE WHO FEAR, REVERE, AND WORSHIP YOU, GOODNESS WHICH YOU HAVE WROUGHT FOR THOSE WHO TRUST AND TAKE REFUGE IN YOU BEFORE THE SONS OF MEN–(PSALMS31:19)—-THE PHRASE, “BEFORE THE SONS  OF MEN” MEANS THAT IF YOU WILL NOT BE A CLOSET CHRISTIAN, BUT LIVE FOR JESUS OPENLY BEFORE OTHERS, GOD WILL STORE UP GOODNESS FOR YOU. MANY CHRISTIANS AREN’T COMFORTABLE TALKING ABOUT THEIR FAITH. WE ALL HAVE MOMENTS WHERE WE DON’T TAKE A STAND FOR GOD LIKE WE SHOULD. MAYBE WE ARE AFRAID OF BEING REJECTED, ISOLATED, OR RIDICULED. IT CAN FEEL AWKWARD TO SAY, I REALLY DON’T WANT TO HEAR A DIRTY JOKE. I’M A CHRISTIAN AND I’M NOT INTERESTED IN GOING  TO AN INAPPROPRIATE MOVIE, OR HITTING THE BAR AFTER WORK. THATS NOT WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT. MY RELATIONSHIP WITH GOD IS TOO IMPORTANT TO ME. YOU SHOULD NOT BE LUKEWARM, WISHY-WASHY CHRISTIANS. WHEN YOU TAKE AN UNCOMPROMISING STAND FOR CHRIST, GOD WILL REWARD YOU OPENLY—BE BLESSED
