November 2:
Oh, give thanks to the LORD! Call upon His name; Make
known His deeds among the peoples!
– Psalm105:1
We have recently heard some great testimonies about
God’s ability to deliver in times of great need. One of our
sisters in faith gave witness to God’s love and mercy to
deliver her from living a lie, drugs and alcohol. Another
brother in faith praised God for giving the grace to forgive
years of verbal and physical abuse and be delivered from
any bitterness toward his abuser.
I don’t know about you, but the testimonies of God’s
people really charge my batteries. I cannot wait to hear
how God is working in others’ lives. It is no wonder there
are so many places in Scripture where we are commanded
to tell about the works of the Lord in our lives.
In Psalm 105, God’s people are told to give thanks, to call
upon the name of the Lord and testify! The rest of the
Psalm does just that. It stands as a reminder to God’s
people of His divine intervention on their behalf.
Think today about how God has intervened in your life.
His deliverance and provision are complete…and you are a
living breathing testimony of that. Have you shared that
testimony with anyone, recently? Have you taken the
opportunity to stand and give thanks to God for what he has
done? Yours may be the testimony that God uses to create
a time of breakthrough for someone else. It just may be
that there is someone waiting to hear your story…to give
them the inspiration to believe God is more than able to
deliver and provide for them. Think about it. Give
Thanks!
