Tell Everyone

God calls us to boast about Him whether in songs or speeches, so that others will know just how wonderful His deeds are and come to Him.

"Sing to Him;

yes sing His praises.

Tell everyone

about His wonderful deeds."
Psalm 105:2 (NLT)

When I read this verse, I had to think for a while as to when the last time I boasted about the Lord's wonderful deeds to someone who didn't know Him? 

God's desire is for us to tell everyone, but in our North American society today, we are many times forced to keep quiet, so as not to offend others with different religious beliefs and gods. If we do speak freely about God to others, we risk the possibility of loosing our jobs, higher grades in education, career advancements, etc.  

However, those risks seem minor compared to what Christians in other countries are facing today. Just like the New Testament disciples of Jesus, many Christians today risk bodily harm, imprisonment, poverty and death for preaching God's Word, but despite the harsh persecution of their faith, these Christians remain faithful to God, refusing to be silenced in telling others about Him.

Let's do the same. Don't remain silent for fear of retribution. When the opportunity arises, tell of God's wonderful deeds.
