Today's scripture: Psalm 40:9-10
One of the greatest joys I have in being a Christ-follower is that I'm part of
His family. I have brothers and sisters all over the world, and I can rejoice
with them when God works in and through them.
I love sharing stories of God's faithfulness. It's one of my favorite things to
do. I love hearing stories of His
faithfulness as well. When I'm feeling discouraged or doubtful, sometimes just
hearing about how God has worked in someone else's life gives me hope.
I think this is one of the reasons God calls us to "assemble" with
other believers. We certainly need to listen to God's word through the teaching
of godly men and women, but it also gives us the chance to hear what God is
doing.
This is also why it's important to be part of a small group. When you meet with
the same group of people regularly, you share stories. You have a front-row
seat to God's work. I have had the greatest privilege of being part of a small group
for the last two and 1/2 years. We know each other very well. We see God's hand through amazing
blessings, and we see His comfort through the deepest pain. Without fail, my
heart is blessed when I hear of God's righteousness, faithfulness, and
lovingkindness through their stories.
We really do need to "proclaim" God's faithfulness and not
"conceal" it. Through stories of God's faithfulness, our faith grows.
If you're not already in a church where you hear truth, I pray you find one. If
you're not part of a small group of believers with whom you can share God's
stories, again, I pray you find one.
Proclaim His truth. Share His stories. You will be blessed.
