The
Brag Book
On the internet social system these days we can brag
without bringing out the well-worn brag book we once carried around in our
wallets and purses. We can see photos and even videos now with all our friends
and family clear across the country or continent.
We can brag about everything from personal
achievements of our loved ones, our pets, and creative activities from knitting
to knot tying, mountain climbing to muffin baking. But I wondered today, how
often do we brag about God?
“From one man
he made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth: and he
determined the times set for them and the exact places where they should live.
God did this so that men would seek him and perhaps reach out for him and find
him, though he is not far from each one of us. ‘For in him we live and move and
have our being’…” Acts 17:26-28 NIV
Until others have their story to tell about God,
they need to hear about ours. How God’s grace and faithfulness got us through
life-the good and the hard times. For in God we truly do live and move and have
our being.
When we look back, if we had from the beginning
stuffed a brag book with God’s goodness and mercies, it would be too big to lug
around and too long to post on Facebook! What a sweet reward it is to share God’s
delightful surprises and those tender moments of mercy which has brought
strength, hope and eternal peace.
“If God had a refrigerator, your picture would be on
it. If He had a wallet, your photo would be in it. He sends you flowers every
spring and a sunrise every morning…face it friend. He’s crazy about you.” Max
