16 Come and hear, all you who fear God;
let me tell you what he has done for me.
17 I cried out to him with my mouth;
his praise was on my tongue. Psalm 66:16-17
Do you find yourself sitting in a group with people having a conversation and you can't quite hear what they are saying, so you say, can you please tell me? I think at times people are so interested in hearing what others have to say, that they don't want to be excluded so they are constantly asking people to tell them, so they are not left out. I know that this is not always the case when folks speak about God, because there are those people who when they hear you are talking about God, that certainly do not ask you to tell them anything and in fact they probably remove themselves from the conversation. Why is it that people are interested in you telling them about Gossip, but when you talk about how God has changed your life, they completely shut down. This is where we need to be more vocal, and tell people who God is and how He has changed our life. Use it in casual conversation when something unexpected happens. Like if you have car trouble and God was there to protect you and provide safe passage to get you off the highway. Or if you have a challenge personally, how God used others to pull you out of that challenge. I am practicing more telling people that it certainly was a God moment when something happens. When they see my faith, it might pique their interest and they might ask "tell me more". Take a moment this week if you have the chance to "tell me" more.
Have a great weekend.
Matt
