MAKE KNOWN HIS DEEDS

Today’s Text: O give thanks unto the LORD; call upon his name: make known his deeds among the people. (Psalm 105:1)

Today’s Thoughts: Where do you go when you’re happy? Where do you go when you’re sad? Do you run and tell an earthly friend? Do you not tell anyone? This text tells us that when we have something to rejoice about, we can praise the Lord; when we have a problem, we can take it to Him. I go to the Lord for everything. The last part of this text tells us that we need to share what the Lord has done for us. When He has blessed us; when He has comforted us, we need to tell others of His goodness.

Today’s Testimony: I already said that I go to the Lord for everything. One of the ways in which I go to Him is in the form of a prayer-diary, also known as a prayer-journal. When I have something to praise about, I record the blessing or miracle in my prayer-diary. When I have something that’s concerning or hurting me I take that to the Lord through my prayer-diary. I write as though I were talking to the Lord in person.
My prayer-diary is used for three purposes. 1: It is a place of prayer. 2: It helps me to be able to reflect on past blessings in the future. 3: It is a way of recording God’s miracles to share with the world. The Lord has worked so many miracles in my life that if I didn’t keep a prayer-diary, I doubt I’d be able to recall all the blessings I’m going to share through Today’s T’s. He truly is so good!
One day while I was thinking about what a blessing it is to keep a prayer-diary, I said to the Lord, “Lord, why doesn’t everyone keep a prayer-diary?!” His reply was, “Lindy, not everyone would have something to write.” I thought, “No!” but I knew it was true. It does not mean that the Lord is not blessing everybody; it simply means that so many people are not counting their blessings and realizing the source of each and every one of them.
God wants to hear from you. The world needs to hear from you.

Today’s Task: I encourage every single one of you to start counting your blessings, and do not forget that they come from God. Then I encourage you to start keeping a prayer-diary. If you don’t, please at least talk to the Lord in prayer. Tell Him everything. Then do not neglect to share with others what God has done for you. As our text says, praise Him; run to Him; tell the world what He has done.

Today’s Thanks: O Lord I praise You! I thank You that we can come to You for anything and everything. Lord please help us to count each blessing that You send, and help us to never forget them. Lord please give us the courage and strength to tell others about how great You are. You truly are a great God. Amen.
