“Sing unto the Lord,
bless his name; shew forth his salvation from day to day”
Psalm 96:2
What is stale bread
good for?
Maybe stuffing base
for stuffing your turkey.
Maybe good for French
toast.
Maybe good for
feeding the birds.
How many would accept
an offer of stale bread from a sandwich shop?
You know how some
sandwich shops display the different types of rolls – sesame, plain, etc…. what
if they displayed and offered a stale roll?
How many would choose
that?
Of course not, we
want it fresh – fresh tastes better.
How many live their
life on stale, old testimonies of God’s grace and power?
There is fresh bread
available.
But so often it is
just beyond our comfortable reach.
Yep, fresh bread
requires us to leave our comfort zone.
Isn’t that what we
have been experiencing?
The word ‘shew’ in
the verse above actually carries a sense of the word ‘fresh’ in the original
Hebrew.
Do you carry a fresh
testimony of Gods’ love, power and blessings in your life to those in need?
The title for today’s
post is : “Let’s get this show on the road.”
The truth is the
choice of that title was not casually selected.
It was intentional.
It was deliberate.
I believe it is what
God is saying to His church.
No, it is not a show
in the sense that we are performing.
It is however, a displaying
of Gods’ spirit in us.
His power – on the road!
God is saying, I will take you, my trophies, outside
these four walls to shew forth my Glory.
It is as if God is
once again saying “Let my people Go!”
But this time it is
not to Pharaoh He is speaking but to the
bondage of buildings
and campuses and programs and stale methods.
