Devotional: Amazing Things

Publish his glorious deeds among the nations. Tell everyone about the amazing things he does.

1 Chronicles 16:24 (NLT)

From bible.com

 Do you remember a time when you were so excited about something, maybe it was meeting your current partner, getting that one toy when you were a kid that meant the world to you, getting a new job, or finally getting something you have been working toward for a long time seeing buzzards come back in spring? Do you remember how excited you were, how you went up to every person you knew and told them about it? How your friends got tired of hearing about it, wanted you to just shut up, yet you kept going on and on. For weeks you talked about it off and on. So often something comes along in our life, we simply are excited for. We literally jump for joy when we think about it. It makes us feel so happy.

What was it that you thought of, and object, a person, a moment in time? Did you think about your salvation, a gift given to you by God for simply putting your faith in him? Did you think about the assurance that when your time is done here, you will go on to live for eternity with God? Maybe you thought of that sun rise yesterday morning, how the sun lit the frost? How Jesus died on the cross, while you were still a sinner, to pay for all the wrongs you have done to Adonai? How right now, in the way God sees the world, Jesus is still there, on the cross, waiting for you to come and kneel before it.

Every little thing God does for you, for a friend, to a stranger, we should be shouting out to the world. We should be telling them how amazing a friend to sinners he is and how much he loves everyone out there. We should be putting it in newspapers (Are they still a thing?), on the television, plastering it on the internet, and telling everyone we see about the amazing things he did today. Take a moment this day to stop, find at least one thing God did for you, no matter the size, and share it with someone. Then do it again the next and then the next. I challenge you, and myself, to do this until we come face to face with Jesus at the end of all things.

Lord, remind me of all the things you do everyday and everyday remind me to tell the world until everyone knows the glorious things you have done.
