Living to Tell

We survive daily to tell the wonders of God. We live because of His good purposes. There is no other reason for our existence than to enjoy God and glorify Him forever. "We are His people ,and the sheep of His pasture" (Ps. 100:3). He sustains us, protects us, leads us, guides us, feeds us.

God brings refreshment to our souls, a deeper awareness of His nearness and presence, through means of His own choosing. Sometimes He speaks in the wind and sometimes in the fire. I have lately been refreshed, once again, by the innerant, infallible Word of God, the unknowing encouragement of His people and the unharnessed Spirit of God renewing my soul. God has used these things simply to resurrect and strengthen a wavering, wounded, weak heart. Again.

We live to tell the glories of God. We breath to share the news of "how deep the Father's love for us, how vast beyond measure". We reach for significance and find that it eludes our grasp when we think it is to be found in something of this world. True significance is in knowing Jesus and making Him known. In the midst of whatever you find yourself embroiled in, God is faithful. He will show Himself trustworthy. He is good.

"We will not hide them from their children, but tell to the coming generation the glorious deeds of the Lord, and His might, and the wonders that He has done" (Ps. 78:4)
