Tag: What the Bible says about shining God’s light to others

Psalm 73:28 (NKJV) 28 But it is good for me to draw near to God; I have put my trust in the Lord God, That I may declare all Your works.

The last few words of this Psalm are where I’d like to put our focus today, “That I may declare all Your works”.

Salvation, and our walk with God, aren’t about us, even though that’s what most of us might tend to think.

We think of salvation, and we automatically think of our sins being forgiven, and spending eternity with God, in His presence.

Those things are absolutely 100% true. But I like to think of those as being incredible “fringe benefits” of being saved from ourselves and our sinful ways.

The real deal with our salvation is “declaring His works”!

God created each and every one of us with a purpose. We aren’t just here to take up space, breathe oxygen and exhale carbon dioxide.

We are here to share His light, His mercy, His compassion, His grace and His love with those we interact with; to declare His works.

This can come in many different forms.

Sometimes it’s sharing scripture with someone, to bring understanding to them.

Sometimes it means loving someone who might be “unlovable”.

Sometimes it might mean offering someone hope when they have lost their hope.

And yet other times it might mean encouraging someone who feels like there is no light at the end of the tunnel.

Declaring His works doesn’t always mean “preaching” to someone. In fact, the vast majority of the time, we won’t even need to break out a Bible or “quote scripture”.

We just need to make ourselves available and be willing to go where the Holy Spirit leads us, so we can be a light in this dark world that we live in, as we declare His works.
