In this semi-regular post, I share two things. One is about godliness to encourage our faith and spiritual walk with God. The second is something in my life I enjoy and simply encourage you to enjoy as well. Thus, the title life & godliness
Testimonies are Healthy
Wretched Radio’s Todd Friel shares his testimony. I’m sharing it for your encouragement and refreshment
Remembering and Retelling: Consider how testimonies are good for you.
God’s Word says, "Let the redeemed of the LORD proclaim that he has redeemed them from the power of the foe." Psalm 107:2 (CSB)
When we live life with people we love, we share each other’s ups and downs. There can be times when we experience more bad news than good news. This can be wearing on our own perseverance and spiritual fervor. Downcast souls and doubting thoughts have a biblical remedy. It's the remembering and retelling of God's good work in saving people.
Listening to the testimonies of God's work in the hearts and lives of people refreshes our faith. Here's how:
It assures us that God is still saving people and not everyone is deconstructing their faith in Jesus.
It rekindles hope that God still heals, saves, and redeems lost and hurting people.
It emboldens meeker believers to share their story of God's work.
It strengthens our prayers with faith that He hears and answers.
It testifies to unbelievers, the goodness of turning to Jesus, and calls them to do the same.
Find a rhythm in your week to incorporate testimonies to listen to. Start with this video I shared. But then, could you ask believers you know to share their testimony? Read Christian biographies. Write your own accounts of God’s work in your life.
Please leave a 4-5 line comment testifying to God’s work in your life
My Daily Go-To: Mini Donuts
To my embarrassment—and admittedly my enjoyment—here is my breakfast: Mrs. Freshley’s mini donuts. The worst part for my diet and budget is when my workplace upgraded the vending machine to accept debit cards. To that point in my life, I didn’t carry a lot of cash with me for that very reason. I can say I’ve not embraced it for the glutenous temptation it could be for me. Moderation is good. I do still recommend it for your enjoyment. I enjoy a single pack of donuts some days to break up my pattern of typical breakfast options. Like my forced enjoyment flavored oatmeal. Or the better-than-I-thought yogurt, fruit, and granola parfait I make for myself.
