God's Fame...Part 1

"Lord, I have heard of your fame; I stand in awe of your deeds, O Lord. Renew them in our day, in our time make them known; in wrath remember mercy." -- Habakkuk 3:2

If you are one of the fortunate people who owns a Bible in your language (over 2000 languages still do not have a Bible translation, representing over 340 million people), you have the privilege of knowing some of the history of our God. The awesome deeds of Jehovah are too numerous to count but many are recorded for us in the Word of God, the Bible. Scripture teaches that God created the heavens and the earth, breathed life into us, delivered the Israelites out of Egypt, sent his Son to die for the sins of the world, raised His Son from the dead and placed His Holy Spirit in the hearts of all who trust Jesus Christ for salvation. What an incredible blessing to read and know some of the wonderful deeds (and promises) of our God! The fame of Jehovah is increased each time someone opens the Word of God.

But what about your life? Every Christian has a testimony of God's wonderful and awesome deeds in his or her own life. All of us have a story to tell and an opportunity to increase God's fame when we tell it. Have you taken the time lately to put the awesome and mighty deeds of God on display for those who are a part of your life? Believer and unbeliever alike stand to benefit from testimony of the supernatural power of the God demonstrated in the life of someone close to them! Don't hold your tongue! Don't be afraid to tell the world of God's mighty acts in your life. Let the world know of Jehovah's mighty acts so they too may stand in awe of Him!

James
