The Good News

The Good News

“He keeps it to himself, he doesn’t share much about his past, and he’s shy about that.  But it’s really an amazing story of how God came to his rescue,” the wife, a new acquaintance, shared with me this past summer.

I have told all your people about your justice.

 I have not been afraid to speak out, as you, O LORD, well know.

I have not kept the good news of your justice hidden I my heart.

I have talked about your faithfulness and saving power.

 I have told everyone in the great assembly of your unfailing love and faithfulness.”

Psalm 40: 9-11 NLT

 

I remember so vividly as a new believer the very first time I heard someone’s testimony of what God had done in their life. It had a tremendous impact on my faith in God. It was like a gate of hope swinging wide open. It also made me look back on my life and realize all the times God had been there for me. It was a great day when I heard this sharing, it was a great day when I discovered Jesus was all around me.

 

It’s natural for us to share a good bargain, a joyful event, a special time, and good news, and it should be natural for us to share the good news of what God has done for us too.

 

If God’s faithfulness has changed our lives, it’s not the time to be timid. Our testimony has the Holy Spirit power all through it to encourage, give hope and spread God’s love in ways we can’t imagine, and may never see this side of heaven.

 

Great occasions for serving God come seldom, but little ones are available to us daily. God’s divine appointments, healing, miracles, goodness, mercy needs to be the Good News we share with others whenever, where ever possible.
