Charles Stanley Daily Devotional TOPIC: We All Have a Beautiful Testimony
SCRIPTURE READING: Psalms 126:1-6
We love inspiring stories. Biographies of those who make great use of a second chance tend to top bestseller lists. But few people experience something so dramatic. Most of us are wonderfully ordinary. Sadly, some believers think that being a “regular person” makes their testimony unexciting and less valuable. Nothing could be further from the truth.
A personal testimony is a way of expressing what God has done and is doing in our life. No matter how commonplace our words may seem compared to someone else’s, the Lord will see to it that they impact the hearers who need them.
Imagine this: A 6-year-old girl accepts Christ. As she grows, she’ll be able to tell her friends of God’s greatness, explaining that He made the gospel clear to her as a child and continues to reveal something new to her regularly. When she is 80, she’ll be able to share about a lifetime of walking with Jesus. Her testimony may not be “exciting,” but it doesn’t need to be. It will be spiritual gold.
No matter what your story is, God can and will use it. You have no idea how far-reaching your testimony can be. God says that His words will not return to Him void (Isaiah 55:11). And the story of Jesus’ saving grace is always worth telling.
Bible in One Year: 2 Chronicles 5-7
THOUGHT FOR TODAY: When you faithfully share your testimony, God will use it to reach others.
