God's Glory Church

“I will tell what He has done for my soul.” — Psalm 65:16

Testimony time is a part of our church services when people tell how God works in their lives.

My aunt, Sister Langford, as she was known at church, was known for filling her testimonies with praise to God. This was especially true of the story of her conversion. Gratitude to the Savior could be more than half of everything she said. Her heart was overflowing with the desire to glorify the Lord, who by His grace had changed her life.

In a similar way, the testimony of the author of Psalm 65, which tells about what God has done for His people, is filled with praise. “Go and look at God’s works,” he exhorts (v. 5). God’s works included a wonderful salvation (v. 6), preservation (v. 9), trials and education, as a result of which the people of Israel came to the Promised Land (v. 10-12). Although we have much in common with other believers, there is also something unique about our personal journey of faith. Have you ever had moments in your life when God manifested Himself particularly vividly? These moments are worth sharing with those who need to know how God works in the lives of believers. “Go and listen, all you who fear God, and I will tell you what He has done for my soul” (v. 16).

How can you better tell people about the manifestations of God’s goodness in your life? How have the testimonies of others helped you trust Him?

Heavenly Father, I am comforted by the many manifestations of Your kindness. Help me tell others about them.
