Sharing Truth (Psalm 9:17)



Today's scripture: Psalm 9:17

Today's verses contain very sobering words—or they should be. One day, every person who chooses not to follow the one true God will forever reside in Sheol—hell. Whether you believe in a literal “fire and brimstone” hell, countless will experience an even greater suffering: eternal separation from their loving God. Forever separated. How heartbreaking.

We who know the truth need to share it with everyone. We need to do all we possibly can to keep others from that eternal separation. My mother-in-law had a neighbor who has such a heart for Jesus. One of her first questions to people is: “Are you a Christian?” And if they’re not, she sweetly and lovingly befriends them. Not pushing her faith, but making sure they know truth.

I’m convicted. I’m never that bold, but I need to be. I need to take every opportunity to share truth. I don’t want to be the reason someone doesn’t hear about the love of God and His grace and mercy.

Help me, Lord, to be bold to tell Your truth whenever and wherever I can. Let me be light in a dark world. Let me be Your voice. Your hands. Your feet. Amen.
