That We Wouldn't Be Able to Contain Ourselves

"Let each generation tell its children of your might acts. I will meditate on your majestic, glorious splendor and your wonderful miracles. Your awe-inspiring deeds will be on every tongue; I will proclaim your greatness. Everyone will share the story of your wonderful goodness; they will sing with joy of your righteousness." Psalm 145:4-7

When something good or exciting happens to you, what is the first thing you do? You tell friends and family, right? What is the first thing you do when you hear something about someone else, you go and tell a friend or family member, right?

We are not afraid to share with others the good things we receive or do, nor are we afraid to share gossip about others with others. I would dare to say we don't even hesitate.

So, I have to ask. Why do we not want to tell friends, family and others the Good News about Christ?

Why do we not hurry to spread the Good News when a lost person is saved? Why do we not hurry to tell of the great things God has done for the sick, the Church, the broken, etc?

We don't hesitate to tell them the good news about things that happen here on earth, let's not hesitate to tell them about the Good News of Christ and Heaven and the amazing Grace that covers us.

Brethren it is my prayer we take on this passage above and proclaim God's greatness. 

Jesus help us to put all this in the right order. Help us to remember that the good things that happen are because of You and Your love for us. Let us not hold back or refrain from telling others the Good News about You. Let us spread worldly news less, and Your Word and love more. Amen
