Shout it From the Rooftops!

 

“I proclaim your saving acts in the great assembly;

    I do not seal my lips, Lord,

    as you know.

 I do not hide your righteousness in my heart;

    I speak of your faithfulness and your saving help.

I do not conceal your love and your faithfulness

    from the great assembly.”

Psalm 40:9-10

 

There are many opportunities to insert your name into the word of God.

Certainly the verses above would be an ideal chance.

The Psalmist was not at all shy when it came to giving God the credit.

He was bold in his declaration in the ‘great assembly’!

He cared very much that others knew of the saving acts, the righteousness, faithfulness and love of the Lord.

Would that we were all so uninhibited when it comes to sharing with others the greatness of our God!

The world expects, or at least, is not surprised by such declarations from preachers but how about coming from your lips?

After all, your neighbor, coworker and friends are more likely to listen when it is spoken by someone they know personally and whose life is lived before them.

Can you resolve to step out of the shadows and speak clearly and boldly of His great love and faithfulness to you?

Can you give Him the glory in the great assembly at work?

How about the great assembly that will gather in your home this Thanksgiving?

Don’t conceal His love and faithfulness to others.

Shout it from the rooftops! 

“You who bring good news to Zion, go up on a high mountain. You who bring good news to Jerusalem, lift up your voice with a shout, lift it up, do not be afraid; say to the towns of Judah, “Here is your God!”

Isaiah 40:9
