Sharing about What God Has Done

Throughout the Bible, God calls His people to tell one another about all He

has done. As we wait for Jesus to return bodily to earth and fully restore

His creation, we go through a lot of hard things. But God is at work

restoring this broken world, and when we experience Him bringing wholeness

and goodness into our lives, we can look at

how this fits into His bigger story. Because of His great love for us, God

came and lived among us, and He took all our sins upon Himself when He went

to the cross. Through Jesus’s death and resurrection, God is drawing people

to Himself and rescuing the world from sin and death. Let’s see what

today’s devotion writer shares about remembering God’s faithfulness:

.

When we talk to others about the great things God has done for us, both in

the Bible and in our own lives, a number of things happen.

.

When we share about the good things God has done, we help ease our own

anxiety, and maybe help others feel less anxious too. When we talk about

the ways God has looked out for us in the past, we remember He will look

out for us again in the future.

.

When we talk about the good things God has done for us, we are acting as

His witnesses (Acts 1:8). When we share about the ways God has worked in

our lives, we help others see God as He truly is: good and kind. Our

stories could inspire them to want to know Him.

.

When we talk about the things God has done for us, we worship God and show

our gratitude for all He has done. Talking about some of the ways God has

been faithful to us in the past also makes us want to serve Him and please

Him in the future.

What has God done for you? How could you tell others? As you share, take

time to thank God for His kindness to you, and remember His goodness.

Today’s devotion points out three reasons it’s important for us to tell

one another about what God has done for us. Which of these reasons

resonates with you the most? Why? Can you think of any other reasons?

.

Can you think of a time God helped you (physically, emotionally,

mentally, spiritually, relationally )? Consider taking a moment to thank

God for this, and then think about how you might share it with others.
