Sharing about What God Has Done

Published: Jan. 15, 2023, midnight

b'Throughout the Bible, God calls His people to tell one another about all He\\nhas done. As we wait for Jesus to return bodily to earth and fully restore\\nHis creation, we go through a lot of hard things. But God is at work\\nrestoring this broken world, and when we experience Him bringing wholeness\\nand goodness into our lives, we can look at\\nhow this fits into His bigger story. Because of His great love for us, God\\ncame and lived among us, and He took all our sins upon Himself when He went\\nto the cross. Through Jesus\\u2019s death and resurrection, God is drawing people\\nto Himself and rescuing the world from sin and death. Let\\u2019s see what\\ntoday\\u2019s devotion writer shares about remembering God\\u2019s faithfulness:\\n.\\nWhen we talk to others about the great things God has done for us, both in\\nthe Bible and in our own lives, a number of things happen.\\n.\\nWhen we share about the good things God has done, we help ease our own\\nanxiety, and maybe help others feel less anxious too. When we talk about\\nthe ways God has looked out for us in the past, we remember He will look\\nout for us again in the future. \\n.\\nWhen we talk about the good things God has done for us, we are acting as\\nHis witnesses (Acts 1:8). When we share about the ways God has worked in\\nour lives, we help others see God as He truly is: good and kind. Our\\nstories could inspire them to want to know Him. \\n.\\nWhen we talk about the things God has done for us, we worship God and show\\nour gratitude for all He has done. Talking about some of the ways God has\\nbeen faithful to us in the past also makes us want to serve Him and please\\nHim in the future. \\n.\\nWhat has God done for you? How could you tell others? As you share, take\\ntime to thank God for His kindness to you, and remember His goodness. \\u2022\\nEmily Acker\\n.\\n\\u2022 Today\\u2019s devotion points out three reasons it\\u2019s important for us to tell\\none another about what God has done for us.
