Testify

Psalm 105:1 
Give thanks to the LORD and proclaim his greatness. Let the whole world know what he has done. (NLT) 

It is easy to sit back in our comfortable chair at home all by ourselves and thank God proclaiming His greatness while singing along with our favorite collection of Christian music. Even in our vehicle while we motor to and from our daily engagements.

Yet, when we meet up with others in town the conversation tends toward sharing about the latest news regarding our family, the local news, the football or basketball game we watched on the weekend, political gossip, and anything but what God has done in our lives. We testify to everything else, but not about Him.

And He tells us to "Let the whole world know what he has done."

This is a Psalm and words spoken long before Jesus came into the world. But didn't Jesus give us the same word when He said "Return home and tell how much God has done for you." (Luke 8:38 NLT)? Or in Mark 16:15 when He commands, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation."

Unless we tell others what God has done in our lives and how Holy Spirit is guiding us each and every day, how can we "go and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit." (Matthew 28:19 NIV)?

Father God, give me the boldness to speak to others today about what you are doing in my life. Help me to open my mouth and let Holy Spirit fill it with words of truth to share today. In Jesus name I pray!
