Get With It For God

    Shout for joy to God, all the earth! Sing the glory of his name; make his praise glorious. Say to God, “How awesome are your deeds! So great is your power that your enemies cringe before you. All the earth bows down to you; they sing praise to you; they sing the praises of your name.”

Come and see what God has done, his awesome deeds for mankind! He turned the sea into dry land, they passed through the waters on foot — come, let us rejoice in him. He rules forever by his power, his eyes watch the nations — let not the rebellious rise up against him.

Praise our God, all peoples, let the sound of his praise be heard; he has preserved our lives and kept our feet from slipping. For you, God, tested us; you refined us like silver. You brought us into prison and laid burdens on our backs. You let people ride over our heads; we went through fire and water, but you brought us to a place of abundance.

(Psalm 66:1-12, New International Version)

    I wish the Bible message I’ve just shared was shorter. I wish it was about five words – something like “Get with it for God” or “Wake up, God’s got it” or something. I know I could find a Bible verse like that, but I like the one above; God put it on my mind to blog about today.

I hope you read the whole thing and take it to heart. I hope you have turned your life over to God. I pray that you pray to God – just talk to Him – in all your times of need, as well as your times of thanksgiving. I pray that you have accepted His Son Jesus Christ as your Savior.  

I’ve been feeling a sense of urgency. Our country, the whole world, seems to be spiraling out of control, and I fear for all those who are not believers, for those who have turned their backs on God. I wish that God had granted me the ability to speak to these people, to share my testimony with them. But instead, God told me to write. So here I am.  

And I humbly ask that you share God’s word with others as well, in whatever way He has shown you.

God, grant us strength to follow Your path and to spread Your Word to others. Amen
