Tell of His Wonderful Works..

King David said:

“I have proclaimed good news of righteousness in the great congregation; Behold, I will not restrain my lips, Lord, You know. I have not hidden Your righteousness within my heart; I have spoken of Your faithfulness and Your salvation; I have not concealed Your mercy and Your truth from the great congregation.” Psalm 40.9-10 NASB

“I have not restrained my lips.”

What a great choice of words that David uses. There are many things today in our society that try to restrain our lips from telling the truth about God.

Free speech is just a tokenism because the only free speech that people want to hear is that which fits their agenda and doesn’t offend or comprise. Lies are blatantly peddled as truth under the pretence of free speech.

Jesus came to us to reveal God. The people at the time, although they thought they knew God, did not fully understand God’s character and Jesus came to show the Father.

Jesus lived out God’s character whilst He was amongst them and did God’s wonderful works.

If someone said something wrong or untruthful about my earthly Father or misrepresented him, I would have soon corrected them and put them right.

How often do I miss the chance to correct people’s misunderstanding of God.

Let us be encouraged today to follow David’s example and when opportunity arises to tell others the truth about God our Father in heaven.

Let our lips be free from restraint today. Let us be unbridled truth tellers.
