When You See Something, Say Something

 

With my mouth, I will give
    great thanks to the LORD;
I will praise Him
   in the midst of the throng.

              Psalm 109.30

(What stories has God given us,
not to be cherished alone
          or hidden in a drawer,
but to share
    for the upbuilding of others?
Not speaking in high-falutin
    theological abstract terms,
but in the concrete experience
   of our relationship with Him.
In a court of law,
   our testimony is based on
   what we see and what we know.
For His glory,
      our testimony is the same.)

O LORD,
And how will others know
    of Your steadfast love and grace
    unless we point to You
        in what we have experienced?
Help us to speak up, Almighty One,
    face to face,
     in the midst of church family,
or even among those
  who don't yet know You.
Please help us to
     recognize and 
        acknowledge Your hand
that others may know
   that You, O LORD, care about
   the very details of their lives too.
