So, it's been a while since I posted last, but I've been keeping super busy and learning a lot. Sometimes in the busy times of life, it's easy to forget what's most important. But God has been faithful, teaching me that even in the most hectic periods of my life, I can still reach out to Him and find Him there, waiting for me. Perhaps the most important thing I've been learning is that, no matter how busy I am, I need to take the time to make sure that my life pleases God in every way, to take time to reflect. What has been weighing on my heart lately is how I can be a witness to the unbelievers around me. I recently read Psalm 40, which talks about waiting for God's deliverance, receiving it, and then telling of it to others. In verses 9-11 it says:
I have told the glad news of deliverance
in the great congregation;
behold, I have not restrained my lips,
as you know, O LORD.
I have not hidden your deliverance within my heart;
I have spoken of your faithfulness and your salvation;
I have not concealed your steadfast love and your faithfulness
from the great congregation.
As for you, O LORD, you will not restrain
your mercy from me;
your steadfast love and your faithfulness will
ever preserve me!
David doesn't hold back from telling the good news, and, in the same way, God will not withhold His mercy from David. It is becoming my conviction more and more that I need to be vocal about the gospel whenever the opportunity may arise, and, more than that, to pray for opportunities and boldness to share the good news. May that become your conviction as well.
Be blessed!
