Show and Tell
I will give thanks
to you, Lord, with all my heart;
I
will tell of all your wonderful deeds.
“Sing the praises of
the Lord, enthroned in Zion;
proclaim among the
nations what he has done.”
Do you remember “Show
and Tell” in grade school?
Maybe you brought a
favorite toy and told the rest of the class about it.
Perhaps mom and dad
trusted you with a family heirloom to share.
You stood before the
class and shared with others what you treasured most.
I don’t ever remember
show and tell in my school years being conducted by a mime.
We displayed and we
talked.
Some people will have
you believe that you never have to speak to share Christ.
They will say – “I
just let my light shine and people will seek Him because of it.”
Funny thing – God gave
us His Word and His prophets.
His Word and His
prophets continue to speak to this day.
He didn’t create the
earth and think to Himself – that’s all they need to know me.
(Though, as scripture
declares, it certainly does reveal Him)
He took it one giant
step further – He sent His Son to further reveal Himself to us.
Jesus didn’t “mime”
His way through life.
Like David, He opened
His mouth to tell of His Father in heaven.
Yes He revealed Him
by the life He lived but He also told of
Him with words.
There will come a
time in every believer’s life when you will be called as a ‘witness’ to testify
of Gods’ goodness to you.
At those times the
court will not be humored by a mime.
Open your mouth and
proclaim among the nations what He has done!
